Final answer:

There are total 2/8, 5/8 present in 1/4 . The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many 5/8 are there in 1/4, we need to divide 1/4 by 5/8.

Dividing fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, we need to multiply 1/4 by the reciprocal of 5/8, which is 8/5.

Multiplying fractions is done by multiplying the numerators together and the denominators together. So, multiplying 1/4 by 8/5 gives us (1 * 8) / (4 * 5) = 8/20 = 2/5.

Therefore, there are 2/5 of 5/8 in 1/4. So, the answer is B) 2/8.
