\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)/2=((1)/(2))/(2)=(1)/(2\cdot2)=(1)/(4) \\ \Rightarrow(1)/(2)/2=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Where we used the rule


((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(ad)/(bc)

Similarly,


\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)/4=((1)/(3))/(4)=(1)/(4\cdot3)=(1)/(12) \\ \Rightarrow(1)/(3)/4=(1)/(12) \end{gathered}
(1)/(2)/6=((1)/(2))/(6)=(1)/(12)
(1)/(5)/2=((1)/(5))/(2)=(1)/(10)

And


(1)/(8)/3=((1)/(8))/(3)=(1)/(24)

Therefore, the answers are options C and E
