To solve for $$ y $$ in the equation:

$$
\frac{3}{9} = \frac{y}{12}
$$

follow these steps:

1. **Simplify the Fraction $$\frac{3}{9}$$:**

$$
   \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}
   $$

So the equation becomes:

$$
   \frac{1}{3} = \frac{y}{12}
   $$

2. **Cross-Multiply to Solve for $$ y $$:**

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate $$ y $$:

$$
   12 \times \frac{1}{3} = y
   $$

$$
   4 = y
   $$

3. **Solution:**

$$
   y = 4
   $$

**Answer:** $$ y = 4 $$
$$ y = 4 $$

Solve for \( y \). \[ \frac{3}{9}=\frac{y}{12} \]
