Answer: \frac{10}{16}


Step-by-step explanation:

Given Paul needs to buy \frac{5}{8} pounds of peanuts.

The scale at the store measures parts of a pound in sixteenths.

We know to find equivalent fraction we need to multiply a number to both numerator and denominator of a number.

Thus to find the measures given by store equivalent to \frac{5}{8} pound, we need to make its denominator 16 by multiplying 2 .

Thus, we multiply 2 to the numerator and the denominator such that the fraction will become  

\frac{5\times2}{8\times2}=\frac{10}{16}

Thus, equivalent to \frac{5}{8}=\frac{10}{16}
