<h2>Answer:</h2>

To satisfy his grandmother's request, drave must mix 3/5 cups of fruit for a single cup of nuts

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

1/5 cup of fruit is required for every 1/3 cup of nuts while making a trail mix.

Hence,

1/3 cup of nuts= 1/5 cup of fruit

This means that:

1/3 ×3 cup of nuts=1/5×3 cup of fruit

i.e. 1 cup of nuts=3/5 cup of fruit

Hence, the answer is:

3/5 cups of fruit is required for single cup of nuts.
