Hey there! Thanks for asking your question here on Brainly!

For this sort of problem, we'll use the equation y = k/x, which is for inverse variations. First, we'll need to solve for k.


4 = k/12

k = 48


Next, we'll need to plug k into our equation from the beginning, as well as 3 for x in order to solve for y.


y = 48/x

y = 48/3

y = 16


Therefore, your answer is y = 16.


Hope this helps!! :)
