The fraction 2/8 is equivalent to 1/4, as 1*2=2 and 4*2=8.

By the way, you can multiply a fraction like 1/4 by 2/2 because 2 divided by 2 is one, and so you are only changing the numbers displayed, but the value of the fraction stays the same, as the numerator and denominator increase at the same rate, proportionally.
