What is not a pair of equivalent fractions for 5/8 and 1/2

Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.

20/40: 1/2

No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole.

I'm sorry but I do not understand this question.
