Answer:

0.625

Explanation:

The lines on top of the numbers means that the number continues for a long time. However, 5/8 isn't infinite which means we can rule the 2nd and 3rd options. We also know that 5/8 certainly isn't greater than 1 which means the only answer we have left is the 1st one.

(sorry this is so confusing but I hope it helped anyway)
