We have that Dakota fills a measuring cup 5/8 cup of sugar two times. The multiplication equation that shows the total amount of sugar is:

$2\cdot(5)/(8)=(10)/(8)=(8)/(8)+(2)/(8)=1+(2)/(8)=1(2)/(8)$

We needed to multiply the fraction 5/8 by 2, and then solve for the given operations.

Therefore, the answer is the last option:

2 x 5/8 = 10/8 = 1 2/8 cups of sugar
