Answer: The hawks played 20 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

The total games played by the hawks (x) multiplied by the percentage they won in decimal form (60/100) is equal to 12.

Mathematically speaking:

x (60/100) =12

x = 12/0.6

x = 20
