This problem is a conversion problem. You have to convert the number of pages read per day into the number of days it will take to read those pages. So, in other words, you are looking to find out how many days it will take to read 156 pages if you read 12 pages per day?
The equation should look like this: 156 pages x (1 day/ 12 pages) = x amount of days it will take to read the book.
x = 156/ 12 = 13
