Each term in the first pattern is 2/5 of the corresponding term in the second pattern.

Step-by-step explanation:

First pattern terms are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.

Second pattern terms are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20.

Since both patterns start from 0 and grow at a constant rate, the ratio of terms in one pattern to those in the other pattern will be constant. Here, that ratio is 2/5.

The first pattern is 2/5 of the second pattern.
