Question
$$-\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{3} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{3} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 12 }. \\[1 em]-12 \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{3} &= 12\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]-1 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ -1 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
