    Step-by-step explanation:

    1) Rewrite 12 1/2 as an improper fraction:

    25/2

    2) Divide 25/2 by 5/6 to find the time in days:

    25/2*6/5

    3) Solve the above equation:

    150/10

    4) Simplify 150/10:

    15 days

    In step 2, I am multiplying 25/2 by 6/5 because in fractional division, you multiply by the reciprocal or opposite of one fraction!
