I don't see the answer choices. Can you paste the equations/options?
Meanwhile, how to tell: a fraction a/b equals 5/8 exactly when 8·a = 5·b (or when a and b are both multiplied/divided by the same nonzero number from 5 and 8). So to test any candidate fraction, either:
- Cross-multiply and check 8·(numerator) = 5·(denominator), or
- Reduce the candidate fraction to lowest terms and see if it becomes 5/8, or
- See if numerator and denominator are 5 and 8 scaled by the same factor (e.g. 10/16, 15/24, 25/40 are equivalent).
Example: 6/8 is not equivalent because 8·6 = 48 but 5·8 = 40 (not equal), so 6/8 ≠ 5/8. Paste your options and I’ll identify which one does not represent 5/8.
