#1/20#

I am not quite sure what you mean in the question.

If it is meant as a ratio, then we will have:

The ratio of #2/5" : " 8#

#2/5" " :" " 8" "larr# a ratio does not have fractions.

Multiply both sides by #5#

#5 xx 2/5 " : " 5xx8#

#2 " : "40#

#1" : " 20#

#1/20#

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you mean #2/5# ' to the power of 8'

#(2/5)^8#

#=2^8/5^8#

#=256/390625#
