It means convert the value of 12 from a number system based on 10 (our usual counting system) to a number system based on 5.

In base 5 you would count to 12 this way:

1

2

3

4

10

11

12

13

14

20

21

22

Perhaps you have been learning a conversion formula. That should give you the same answer.
