Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We want ...

... (Melody's fraction) × (Melody's pages) = (Khaleef's fraction) × (Khaleef's pages)

Filling in the numbers, this is ...

... (2/5)×265 = (Khaleef's fraction)×424

Dividing by 424, we have ...

... Khaleef's fraction = (2/5)×(265/464) = (2/5)×(5/8) = 2/8 = 1/4
