Answer:

1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to add all of the supplies.

5 pencils + 6 pens + 3 glue sticks + 1 marker = 15 supplies

Put 3 over 15, since fractions are part over whole.

Now you have to simplify 3/15, which is 1/5.

Then you multiply 1/5 by 1/5 since he is trying twice, and this will give you 1/25.
