# of apples
3/8(a)=# of oranges
p=# of pears
3/4(p)=# of oranges
(3/8)a=(3/4)p
(3/8)/(3/4)=p/a
(3/8)(6/8)=p/a
3/6=p/a
1/2=p/a
the ratios of pears to apples is 1 to 2
for every 1 pear there are 2 apples
if there are 4 pears there are 8 apples
there are 8 apples
(3/8)(8)=3 oranges
there are 4 pears
(3/4)(4)=3 oranges again
8 apples, 3 oranges, 4 pears
15 pieces of fruit and 3 are oranges
ratio is 3/15=1/5

Basically, we need to find what has a probability of 2/9
Peanuts:6/6+4+3+5=6/18=1/3
Rasins:4/18=2/9
Cranberries:3/18=1/6
Chocolate chips:5/18
The answer should be raisins
The answer would be x=14/3 and x=-28/3. Hope this helps!
