For this case, we want to know what fraction of the Burns High School girls play volleyball. For this, we make a rule of three based on the female students


\frac {3} {5} ---------> 1\\\frac {1} {3} ---------> x

Where "x" represents the fraction of women who play volleyball


x = \frac {\frac {1} {3} * 1} {\frac {3} {5}}\\x = \frac {5} {9}

Thus,
\frac {5} {9}are women who play volleyball.

Answer:


\frac {5} {9}
