Ben reads 6 pages of a book in 8 minutes, 9 pages in 12 minutes, and 30 pages in 40 minutes. If m represents the number of minutes and p represents the number of pages, which equation represents the number of pages Ben reads per minute? A m=34p B p=34m C p=m+43 D m=p+34

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

Ithink it is b and d
