p ≤ 40

The correct answer is the only correct answer because when solving an inequality, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side. In this case, we need to get p alone on one side of the inequality symbol.

To solve the inequality p/5 ≤ 8, we can multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator:

p/5 * 5 ≤ 8 * 5
p ≤ 40

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is p ≤ 40. The appropriate inequality symbol is ≤ (less than or equal to) because p can be equal to 40 for the inequality to hold true.
