Equation 1: Total amount of fruit = apples + grapes + strawberries + pineapple = 2 1/3 + 3 1/4 + 1 2/3 + 2 3/4 = 10 pounds
Equation 2: Number of 1/3 pound servings = Total amount of fruit / (1/3) = 10 / (1/3) = 30 servings

Song: "We've got apples, grapes, strawberries, and pineapple too. Mix them all up for a fruit salad that's new. With 10 pounds of fruit, we'll make 30 servings that are sweet and delicious, and oh so deserving."
