Mari can type p pages in 1/m minutes. At this rate, how many pages can she type in m minutes?

A. mp
B. pm^2
C. 1/p
D. m/p
E. 1/(mp)

1/m minute = p page
1 min = p*m page
m min = p*m*m pages

If someone works m times longer, they will do m times more work. So if Mari types p pages in 1/m minutes, then working m times longer, Mari types mp pages in 1 minute, and again working m times longer than that, Mari types m^2*p pages in m minutes.
