A. Yes 12 amp-hours per day
B. Yes theoretically 24 amp-hours of storage but no one would choose to have a bank that small if they were serious about boondocking.
Look up the Peukert Laws which expresses approximately the change in capacity of rechargeable lead-acid batteries at different rates of discharge. As the rate increases, the battery's available capacity decreases, approximately according to Peukert's law.

If I may continue to ask:
A) if someone requires 0.5 amp-hour what exactly does that mean for a 24 hrs period?
is the answer 12 amp-hrs?
B) how much (amp-hrs) battery do one need to run a Refrigerator for 24 hrs?
is the answer a minimum 24 amp-hrs as we don't want to drain the battery below 50%?
Again thanks for the replies.
Btw my refrigerator is a Norcold N61X and I can't find anything in the manual or on the web.
