Answer:

The number is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1/3 of a number is 12. So let's make this number into any variable, I will choose x which means that 1/3 of x is equals to 12. Next we have to write an expression :

[tex] \frac{1}{3} \times x = 12[/tex]

In order to solve x, you have to multiply 3 to both sides :

[tex] \frac{1}{3} \times x \times 3 = 12 \times 6[/tex]

[tex]x = 36[/tex]
