Let's assume that Kiran read for x minutes.
Andre read for 5/8 more than Kiran, which is equivalent to reading for (5/8)x minutes more.
So the total number of minutes that Andre read, y, can be represented as:
y = x + (5/8)x
Simplifying the equation, we get:
y = (8/8)x + (5/8)x
Combining like terms, we have:
y = (13/8)x
Therefore, the equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read (x) with the number of minutes Andre read (y) is:
y = (13/8)x
Andre read for 5/8 more than Kiran, which is equivalent to reading for (5/8)x minutes more.
So the total number of minutes that Andre read, y, can be represented as:
y = x + (5/8)x
Simplifying the equation, we get:
y = (8/8)x + (5/8)x
Combining like terms, we have:
y = (13/8)x
Therefore, the equation that relates the number of minutes Kiran read (x) with the number of minutes Andre read (y) is:
y = (13/8)x
