The common ratio between consecutive terms is $\frac{3}{5}$ (you can choose any two consecutive terms and divide the second one by the first to find the common ratio). So the $n^\text{th}$ term of the sequence is $\frac{125}{9} \cdot \left( \frac{3}{5} \right)^{n-1}$. Plugging in $n=8$, we get $$
\frac{125}{9} \cdot \left( \frac{3}{5} \right)^{7} = \frac{5^3}{3^2} \cdot \frac{3^7}{5^7}
= \frac{3^5}{5^4}
= \boxed{\frac{243}{625}}.
$$
