Answer 2

Answer:

  A:  50/80

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio will form a proportion with 5/8 when it is equal to 5/8. (A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal.)

The offered fractions have reduced values of ...

• 50/80 = 5/8 . . . . . the ratio you're looking for
• 40/80 = 1/2
• 55/64 = 55/64
• 50/88 = 25/44

As you can see, only the first answer choice has a value of 5/8, so that is the one that will form a proportion with 5/8:

  5/8 = 50/80
