    Jacob gets $30.

    Ethan gets $50.

    30 + 50 = 80

    The fraction is 3/8.

    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
