  1. 100

  2. 256

  3. 64

  4. 1024


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To find what percent of one quantity is another quantity, we can use the formula:

[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 ]

In this case, we want to find what percent of (\frac{5}{8}) is (\frac{8}{5}).

First, we need to find the part and the whole. The part is (\frac{8}{5}) and the whole is (\frac{5}{8}).

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{\frac{8}{5}}{\frac{5}{8}} \right) \times 100 ]

Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses, we have:

[ \left( \frac{8}{5} \times \frac{8}{5} \right) \times 100 ]

Multiplying the fractions, we get:

[ \left( \frac{64}{25} \right) \times 100 ]

Dividing 64 by 25 and multiplying by 100, we find that the percent is:

[ \text{Percent} = \frac{64}{25} \times 100 = 256 ]

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 256.
