First lets find the rate by dividing 15 by 2.5 You will get 6 meaning that six people eat 1 pound each. Now lets divide 6 from 6 and 1. This means that 1 person will eat 1/6 of the pounds of the potatoe. Then we can do 50 times 1/6 and we will get 8.3333. This means that Jason needs 8 and 1/3 pounds of potatoes to feed 50 people.
