If lynn can type a page in p minutes what piece of a page can she type ing 5 minutes?

5/p
p+5
p-5
p/5
1-p-5

Suppose p = 10 minutes. Obviously she can type a half page in 5 minutes.

Which of your choices will give you that answer?

5/p

To determine how much of a page Lynn can type in 5 minutes when she can type a whole page in p minutes, you need to find the fraction of a page that corresponds to 5 minutes.

Since Lynn can type a page in p minutes, it means that in 1 minute, she can type 1/p of a page.

To find out how much she can type in 5 minutes, you multiply the fraction per minute (1/p) by the number of minutes (5):

1/p * 5 = 5/p

Therefore, Lynn can type 5/p of a page in 5 minutes.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5/p.
