Read the description of a proportional relationship. As a farmer, Lester keeps a close eye on the weather. After a few stressful weeks with no rain, Lester was relieved when it started raining one morning. It rained steadily all day, and Lester periodically checked to see how much rain had fallen. There is a proportional relationship between the amount of time (in hours) it had been raining, \( x \), and the amount of rain (in inches) that had fallen, \( y \). The equation that models this relationship is \( y=0.25 x \). At this rate, how long did it take until 3 inches of rain have fallen? Enter your answer as a whole number or decimal.
