5/8th of the line is behind him and 3/8th of the line is in front of him.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: There are a total of 8 steps. Since Eddie is on the 5th step, he has already covered 5 steps.  

⇒ Fraction of line behind Eddie = 5/8

  • Step 2: There are 3 steps in front of him

⇒ Fraction of line in front of Eddie = 3/8
