Cool pops. I need help now get lost
To find out the fraction of the total reward that Jayden gets, we need to compare the share of Jayden to the total reward.
The given ratio is 2:5, which means that Jayden's share is 2 out of a total of 2+5=7 shares.
To find the fraction, we take Jayden's share (2) and divide it by the total number of shares (7):
Jayden's fraction = Jayden's share / Total shares
= 2 / 7
Therefore, Jayden gets a fraction of 2/7 of the total reward.
