The teacher needs enough basketballs so there is 1 basketball for every 12 students. Since there are 156 students, we can calculate how many basketballs are needed in total.
156 students / 12 students per basketball = 13 basketballs needed
Since the teacher already has 5 basketballs, she needs to order:
13 basketballs needed - 5 basketballs already have = 8 basketballs needed to order
Therefore, the teacher needs to order 8 more basketballs. The answer is 8.
