Answer 1

To get the answer for how much fruit per cup of nuts, you will have to multiply both the 1/3 cup of nuts, and 1/5 cup of fruit by 3, since 1/3*3=1. so, 1/5 cups of fruit multiplied by 3 is 6/10. which can be simplified to 3/5

Answer 2

A. 3/5!! if there is 1/5 for every 1/3 and there is 1 cup of nuts then that is 1/3 X 3 
so if you do the same with 1/5 X 3 you will get a , 3/5
