If four identical resistors, of resistance $\displaystyle 8$ ohm, are first connected in series so as to give an effective resistance $\displaystyle \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{s}}$, and then connected in parallel so as to give an effective resistance $\displaystyle \mathrm{R}_{p}$, then the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{R}_{p}}$ is
