Little sister needs help, can anyone explain this to her?

If Ben reads 8 pages in 12 minutes what is his ratio of pages to minutes in simplest form?

The ratio in simplest form is the number of pages Ben can read in one minute.
If he can read 8 pages in 12 minutes, both those numbers can be divided by 4: so he can read 2 pages in 3 minutes. To find how many pages he can read in 1 minute now, divide both numbers by 3. So, he can read 2/3 page per minute.

The ratio of pages to minutes should be written as

8 to 12

Since you want the simplest form divide both sides by the greatest common factor which in this case is 4

2 to 3

Den would read 2 pages in every 3 minutes
