If you have 1/5 and 2/3, you need a common denominator to even do anything. So three and five both go into 15, so then you do 2 times 5, cause 3 times 5 is 15. And 1 times 3, cause 3 times 5 is 15. So you end up with 3/15 as produce, and 10/15 as vegetables. So, then you divide the fractions, 1/5 divided by 10/15, which is the same as 1/5 times 15/10. So your answer is 3/10 of the produce is vegetables.
