Answer: The required relation is,

Explanation:

Since, he reads 3 pages in every 8 minutes.

That is, 8 minutes = 3 pages,

⇒ 1 minutes = 3/8 pages,

Also, he is reading with the constant speed,

$\implies \text{m minutes}= (3)/(8)m$

Here, p represents the number of pages read in m minutes,

$\implies p=(3)/(8)m$

Which is the required relation between the number of pages she reads (p) and the number of minutes she spends reading (m).
