Hi, K, and welcome to OpenStudy!
Are you certain you've typed in this problem exactly as it was given to you?

If you have to graph 5/8 on a number line, and if you recognize that 5/8 is between 0 and 1, or between 0/8 and 8/8, then you may see that you need EIGHT equally sized spaces between 0 and 1.  Try it (on paper) and see whether that makes sense to you.
