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>.

3(2a-5) = 12-7a
6a-15=12-7a
6a+7a=12+15
13a= 27
27=3c-3(6-2c)
27=3c-18+6c
27+18=3c+6c
45=9c
C=45/9
C=5
6c-8-2c=-16
6c-2c=-16+8
4c=-8
C=-8/4
C=-2
You do add the two negatives and get a negative answer but -3 + -5 = -8
Answer:
the answer to the question is 8
