Answer:

  5 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The odds in favor are ...

  P(red) : P(not red) = (5/8) : (1 -5/8) = (5/8) : (3/8) = 5 : 3

_____

Comment on the problem statement

"equally sized slices" and "probability of red is 5/8" seem contradictory. Possibly we're missing a description that says there are 8 slices, of which 5 are colored red?
