In [[5-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 8/5 is a minor sixth, measuring about 813.7¢. It is the 5th subharmonic, and thus the inversion of [[5_4|5/4]], the classic major third. It appears in chords where the 1/1 is higher than the 5/4, such as 5:6:8 (a first-inversion major triad). It is a large half step of [[16_15|16/15]] (about 111.7¢) away from [[3_2|3/2]], and an [[81_80|81/80]] (about 21.5¢) away from the Pythagorean ([[3-limit]]) minor sixth of [[128_81|128/81]] (about 792.2¢).
