Answer: 3/4

Explanation:

Number of students in Jacob's homeroom = 20.

Number of students who bring their lunch to school = 5

Since the rest eat lunch in the cafeteria, the number of those who eats in the cafeteria will be:

= 20 - 5

= 15

Fraction that eats in the cafeteria will be: = 15/20 = 3/4
