8÷250÷2=425\dfrac{8 \div 2}{50 \div 2} = \dfrac{4}{25}      Divideboththenumeratorandthedenominatorby2\quad {\color{#c34632}Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2}

4÷210÷2=25\dfrac{4 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \dfrac{2}{5}      Divideboththenumeratorandthedenominatorby2\quad {\color{#c34632}Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2}

The ratios are not equivalent
