Let's denote the unknown number as \( x \).

According to the statement, one third of the number is twelve. We can express this mathematically as:

\[
\frac{1}{3}x = 12
\]

To find \( x \), we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

\[
x = 12 \times 3
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
x = 36
\]

So the number is 36.
