To determine which expressions are equivalent to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\), we first convert \(4 \frac{5}{8}\) to an improper fraction:

\[
4 \frac{5}{8} = \frac{4 \times 8 + 5}{8} = \frac{32 + 5}{8} = \frac{37}{8}.
\]

Next, we'll analyze each of the provided expressions to see which ones simplify to \(\frac{37}{8}\).

1. **Expression 1**: \( (478)(4^{-14}) \).

This expression is not in an easily comparable form, and without further simplification, we cannot directly relate it to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).

2. **Expression 2**: \( (4^{7/8})(4^{-1/4}) \).

We can apply the properties of exponents:
\[
4^{7/8} \cdot 4^{-1/4} = 4^{7/8 - 1/4} = 4^{7/8 - 2/8} = 4^{5/8}.
\]
This does not equal \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).

3. **Expression 3**: \( \sqrt[5]{4^{10}} \).

This can be rewritten as:
\[
4^{10/5} = 4^2 = 16.
\]
This is not equal to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).

4. **Expression 4**: \( \sqrt[8]{4^{5}} \).

This simplifies to:
\[
4^{5/8}.
\]
Again, this does not equal \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).

5. **Expression 5**: \( 4(4^{3/8}) \).

This simplifies to:
\[
4^{1 + 3/8} = 4^{8/8 + 3/8} = 4^{11/8}.
\]
This is not equal to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).

6. **Expression 6**: \( (2148)(4^{-14}) \).

Similar to Expression 1, this will require further simplification that does not lead immediately to \(\frac{37}{8}\).

7. **Expression 7**: \( (2^{14/8})(4^{-1/4}) \).

This can be rewritten since \(4 = 2^2\):
\[
2^{14/8} \cdot 4^{-1/4} = 2^{14/8} \cdot 2^{-1/2} = 2^{14/8 - 2/8} = 2^{12/8} = 2^{3/2} = \sqrt{8}.
\]
This is not equivalent to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).

After evaluating all expressions, none Simplify to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\) or \(\frac{37}{8}\).

Thus, none of the expressions provided are equivalent to \(4 \frac{5}{8}\).
