Answer: The required number is 16.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number such that \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) times of that number is equal to 12.
Let the required number be represented by x.
Then, according to the given information, we have
\(\dfrac{3}{4}\times x=12\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=48\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{48}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=16.\)
Thus, the required number is 16.
