If the stack is 21ins and each board is 1 3/2 ins thick that means you 21/(1 3/2) so you end up getting 8.4. Because you can't have a part of a board you round the number down to 8 boards.

'of' in mathematics means multiplication
'is' in mathematics means equal

52% * x = 13

52/100 * x = 13

0.52x = 13

x = 13/0.52

x = 25

52% of 25 days is 13 days.
