Answer:

5/8 is about 1/2. 2/6 is about 0.

Step-by-step explanation: 2/6 is about 0 because 2 is close to 0. If the numerator is close to 0 and the denominator is not close to 0 then the benchmark is going to be 0. If the numerator is about half of the denominator then the benchmark is going to be 1/2. If the numerator and denominator is close to each other than the benchmark is going to be 1.
