Answer:

[tex](B)\dfrac{1}{8}x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two terms:

[tex]\dfrac{5}{8}x \:and\: \dfrac{11}{8}xy[/tex]

We can re-write the terms as:

[tex]\dfrac{5}{8}x=5(\dfrac{1}{8}x) \:and\:\\ \dfrac{11}{8}xy=11(\dfrac{1}{8}x)y[/tex]

If we observe, the terms in the bracket is the common factor between the two terms. Therefore, a common factor is:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{8}x[/tex]
