Let's assume 'x' is the number we are looking for.
when there is the word 'of' in a word problem,it signals multiplication.
Therefore,
12=0.6x
Dividing both sides by 0.6 gives,
x=12/0.6
we have the solution for x,
x=20
12 is 0.6 of 20.

Let x = the number
0.6 * x = 12
x = 12 / 0.6
x = 20
Proof:
20 * 0.6 = 12

0.6<--->12
1<--->(1 / 0.6) x 12 = 120 / 6 = 20
12 is 0.6 of 20

write it out as an algebra problem with the number as x, so....
x * 0.6 = 12
divide both sides by 0.6
x = 12/0.6 = 20

ratio:
is/of
12/of = .6/1
cross multiply
12(1) = .6of
12 = .6of
divide both sides by .6
of = 20
12 is .6 of 20
