    You write an equation having 2 fractions on either side

    It would look like this general template

    A/B = C/D

    So for your example

    A = number of pages in case 1

    B = number of minutes in case 1

    C = number of pages in case 2

    D = number of minutes in case 2

    Meaning that ...

    A = 6

    B = 2

    C = x

    D = 5

    Leading to this equation

    6/2 = x/5
