    150°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

    sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

    Here n = 5 (Pentagon has 5 sides), thus

    sum = 180° * 3 = 540°

    Sum the parts of the ratio, 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 18 parts

    Divide 540° by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio

    540° : 18 = 30° ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

    5 parts = 5 * 30° = 150° ← largest angle
