Answer:

 [tex]\frac{2}{4} = 2 *\frac{1}{4} \\[/tex]

So the length of 2 of the 1/4 sections.

 [tex]\frac{5}{8} = 5* \frac{1}{8}[/tex]

So the length of 5 of the 1/8 sections.

Now,

[tex]\frac{2}{4} = x *\frac{5}{8}\\\\x = \frac{2}{4} * \frac{8}{5} = \frac{16}{20} = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Therefore 2/4 is 4/5 the length of 5/8.
