12 To find out how many fans are cheering for the Bulldogs, we first need to determine the total number of fans cheering for the Hawks.

We know that every third fan is cheering for the Hawks, which means that out of the 36 fans, only 1/3 of them are cheering for the Hawks.

To calculate the number of fans cheering for the Hawks, we can divide the total number of fans (36) by 3:

Now, to find how many fans are cheering for the Bulldogs, we subtract the number of fans cheering for the Hawks from the total number of fans:

Total fans - Hawks fans = Bulldogs fans

36 - 12 = 24

Therefore, there are 24 fans cheering for the Bulldogs.
