Help plz with ev problem

 

In a sequence of coin flips, a run is a series of consecutive coin flips that are all the same.  For example, in the sequence

the red letters form a run.

 

If a fair coin is flipped two times, what is the expected length of the longest run?

The expected length is 8/5.
