Answer:
9 pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the ratio is 5:3 and its pens to pencils. So, every 5 pens have 3 pencils. Now Jose has 15 pens, so his pen supply triples. therefore his pencil supply must also triple. So 3x3=9.
The fraction 2/5 added by 3/4 will be 1 3/20.
<h3>How to calculate the fraction?</h3>
A fraction is simply a piece of a whole. The number is represented mathematically as a quotient where the numerator and denominator are split. In a simple fraction, the numerator as well as the denominator are both integers. On the other hand, a fraction appears in the numerator or the denominator of a complex fraction.
The fraction will be illustrated thus:
=✓2/5 + 3/4
= 8/20 + 15/20
= 23/20
= 1 3/20
The value is 1 3/20.
