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>.

180 degrees is the answer
15% markup on $17,000 = 17000*.15=$2550
25% markup on $4,000 = 4000*.25 = $1000
now just add the two markups.
Answer:
(a) (6, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations has one of them in y= form, so it lends itself to solution by substitution.
__
Using the equation for y to substitute into the first equation, we have ...
2x -y = 10
2x -(-1/2x +5) = 10 . . . . . substitute for y
2x +1/2x -5 = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5/2x = 15 . . . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5
Using the equation for y, we have ...
y = -1/2(6) +5 = -3 +5
y = 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, 2).
the answer is false hopes this helps
