Answer:

15 days

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!
