+961 What value of y satisfies the equation y/3+1/4=5/12?
is a fration 
+130511 OK....so we have....
y/3+1/4=5/12 let's multiply through by common denominator or 3, 4 and 12 to clear the fractions....in this case...that would be 12....so we have
(12)y/3 + 12(1/4) = (12)(5/12)
4y + 3 = 5 subtract 3 from both sides
4y = 2 divide both sides by 4
y = 2 / 4 = 1 /2
And there you are......
