To find what fraction of $$ 2 \frac{1}{2} $$ is $$ \frac{4}{5} $$, you can set up the problem as follows:

$$
\text{Fraction} = \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{2 \frac{1}{2}}
$$

First, convert the mixed number $$ 2 \frac{1}{2} $$ to an improper fraction:

$$
2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}
$$

Now, divide $$ \frac{4}{5} $$ by $$ \frac{5}{2} $$:

$$
\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{5}{2}} = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{25}
$$

So, $$ \frac{4}{5} $$ is $$ \frac{8}{25} $$ of $$ 2 \frac{1}{2} $$.

**Answer:** $$ \dfrac{8}{25} $$
$$ \frac{8}{25} $$
