Bill started reading a book on the first day of April. He read 8 pages every day and by the 12th of April, he had covered two-thirds of the book. How many pages does the book have?
He read 8 pages every day for 12 days for a total of 8*12 = <<8*12=96>>96 pages
96 pages is the same as two-thirds of the total number of pages which means: number of pages*(2/3) = 96
Therefore the total number of pages is 96*(3/2) = <<96*(3/2)=144>>144 pages
