Answer 2

Dave must mix 3/5 cups of fruit for a single cup of nuts.

Explanation:

Dave is helping his grandmother make trail mix. His grandmother asks him to add 1/5 cup of fruit for every1/3 cup of nuts.

First we find how many 1/3 cups of nuts make a single cup of nuts

1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1

So three 1/3 cups make a single cup of nuts

To find cup of fruit for sing cup of nuts

we multiply 1/5 by 3

`(1)/(5) * 3= (3)/(5)`

Dave must mix 3/5 cups of fruit for a single cup of nuts.
