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

Explanation:

In general any fraction of the form #(5n)/(8n)# where #n# is any number other than 0 will equal #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#
