To complete the expression

\[ \frac{5t^2}{4r} = \frac{\text{nothing}}{12r^4}, \]

we need to find the value for "nothing" such that the two fractions are equivalent.

To do this, we can cross-multiply:

\[ 5t^2 \cdot 12r^4 = 4r \cdot \text{nothing}. \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 60t^2r^4 = 4r \cdot \text{nothing}. \]

Now, we can solve for "nothing" by isolating it:

\[ \text{nothing} = \frac{60t^2r^4}{4r}. \]

Since \(r\) is present in the numerator and the denominator, we can simplify:

\[ \text{nothing} = \frac{60t^2r^3}{4} = 15t^2r^3. \]

So, the complete expression is:

\[ \frac{5t^2}{4r} = \frac{15t^2r^3}{12r^4}. \]

Thus, the final answer for "nothing" is:

\[ 15t^2r^3. \]
