~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The book has 312 + x pages       

 

6 : 1/12 = 20 : x          x = 5/18        (x => pages read in 20 days)

 

13/18 = 312 pages

 

y : 1/12 = 312 : 13/18           (y => pages read in 6 days)

 

y = 36 

 

Chris read 36 pages in 6 days, 120 pages in 20 days, and the book has 432 pages.
