Given that you know he read finish the book in 20 days (after reading 312 pages), you can find the TOTAL PAGES of the book.

But since you don’t know how many pages he read daily, you can use x (algebra) to represent and form your equation.


Then, make use of the next information the question gives you. Which is he read finish 1/12 of the book in 6 days. Given you know the TOTAL PAGES, you can calculate what is 1/12 of the book.
