It depends on where you are seeing this number.
Most shutter speed conventions do not use o1/12.5 of a second as a shutter speed; the closest would probably be 15 meaning 1/15th of a second, which is a very long/slow shutter speed usually producing blurs if you're not using a tripod. I can't think of a camera with that as a preset shutter speed but your camera might.
You may possibly be looking at an intermediate f-stop (between 11 and 16) being reported on your screen or wherever these are shown (your LCD?) when you are in shutter priority mode where you are setting a fixed shutter speed and then the camera automatically adjusts for f stop (aperture) based on WB and ISO and is sophisticated enough to report an f-stop between 11 and 16).

What do you have to consider when selecting your shutter speed?
Shutter speed has a lot to do with your overall exposure. A higher shutter speed will decrease the light a lot. I was in best buy playing around with a camera and turned the camera shutter speed to 1/4000. After taking the photo, the preview was black. I realized it was because of how much higher I increase my shutter speed. Shutter speed also affects motion in a photo. A higher shutter speed will freeze all action in a photo a will less likely have a blur to it if you have a shaky hand. A lower shutter speed lets in more light while the shutter is will opened so the entire time that the shutter is open, the camera takes in all that light. Increasing chances of blur, you can also use this for crazy, funky effects! If your taking a picture of a waterfall with a low shutter speed, your gonna get a blur, which can typically look pretty epic sometimes too.

Slow shutter speed - keeps the shutter curtain open for longer periods of time, e.g. when you shoot at night or in fading low light. Fast shutter speeds are used to capture action or when scene you are trying to shoot is well lit. In this case the shutter opens and closes in a fraction of a second!
