To solve for \( j \) in the equation:

\[
\frac{j}{4} + 12 = 16
\]

Follow these steps:

1. Subtract 12 from both sides:
   \[
   \frac{j}{4} = 16 - 12
   \]
   \[
   \frac{j}{4} = 4
   \]

2. Multiply both sides by 4 to solve for \( j \):
   \[
   j = 4 \times 4
   \]
   \[
   j = 16
   \]

Thus, the solution is \( j = 16 \).
