How many pages did Bill read? ** He read 8 pages every day for 12 days for a total of 8*12 = <<8*12=96>>96 pages
How many pages does the book have? ** 96 pages is the same as two-thirds of the total number of pages which means: number of pages*(2/3) = 96
How many pages does the book have? ** Therefore the total number of pages is 96*(3/2) = <<96*(3/2)=144>>144 pages
