Answer:

[tex]m=\dfrac{8}{3}p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}3\ (pages)&-&8\ (min)\\p\ (pages)&-&m\ (min)\end{array}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\p\cdot8=3\cdot m\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\m=\dfrac{8p}{3}[/tex]

The equation is:

number of pages=reading speed×number of minutes

          p               =          3/8          ×                  m

The correct answer is

p=3/8 m
