The quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets, based on his sharing ratio, is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.
<h3>What is the sharing ratio?</h3>
The sharing ratio is the percentage or ratio that is held by a person out of the total value of the thing being shared.
Jason's share of the pencil can be determined by multiplying the total pencils in the box (1.5 x ¹/₂) by Jason's sharing ratio (¹/₅).
<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>
Quantity of pencils bought = 1.5 pounds
Half of the pencils in a box = 0.75 pounds (1.5 x ¹/₂)
The pounds got by Jason from the box = <u>0.15 </u>(0.75 x ¹/₅)
Thus, the quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.
