Answer:

Jacob's fraction is 3/8 of the total reward (which translates to $30)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of Ethan : Jacob is 5:3,

expressing this as a fraction,

Ethan gets 5/ (5 + 3) = 5/8 of the total reward

Jacob gets 3 / (5+3) = 3/8 of the total reward.

if you are asked to find the value that Jacob receives,

Jacob receives, 3/8 x $80 = $30
