Answer:

1/2 and 3/4

Explanation:

First, let's look at the pattern of the fractions.

Each fraction is increasing by 1/4.

1/4 = 2/8

2/4 = 4/8

We know that 5/8 is in between 4/8 and 6/8 because 5 is in between 4 and 6.

Since we now know want fractions 5/8 is in between, all we have to do is convert.

4/8 = 2/4 (as is mentioned on the top)

6/8 = 3/4

Note: On the number line, 2/4 is referred to as 1/2...

Therefore, 5/8 is in between 1/2 and 3/4.
