$\frac{10}{16}$ $10/16$ , $\frac{15}{24}$ $15/24$ , $\frac{50}{80}$ $50/80$

In general any fraction of the form $\frac{5 n}{8 n}$ $(5n)/(8n)$ where $n$ $n$ is any number other than 0 will equal $\frac{5}{8}$ $5/8$

This is because: $(5 canceln)/( 8 cancel n) = 5/8$

In the answers above, I have chosen arbitrarily $n=2, n=3, n=10$ to arrive at the three fractions requested:

$10/16$ , $15/24$ , $50/80$
