ANSWER:

5/4 and 2

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

If we look closely, we notice that the pattern is that 1 is added to the numerator and one is subtracted from the denominator, as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{8} \\ \frac{1+1}{8-1}=\frac{2}{7} \\ \frac{2+1}{7-1}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2} \\ \frac{3+1}{6-1}=\frac{4}{5} \\ \text{therefore, the next two numbers are:} \\ \frac{4+1}{5-1}=\frac{5}{4} \\ \frac{5+1}{4-1}=\frac{6}{3}=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
