LadyLeene is obviously correct. 512 divided by 8 equals 64 64 divided by 8 equals 8 8 divided by 8 equals 1 Therefore 1 divided by 8 equals one eighth

I too agree with the first responder. It is a geometric progression with the previous number being divided by 8. Thene in the 5th place you end up with 1/8. So the answer is b.
