From the information given,

Jack wants to eat 2 1/5 of his plate in 1/3 hour. The first step is to convert 2 1/5 to improper fraction. It becomes 11/5

The statement would be

Jack wants to eat 11/5 of his plate in 1/3 hour.

Let x represent how much of his plate that he will eat in 1 hour. Therefore

11/5 = 1/3

x = 1

By cross multiplying, it becomes

x * 1/3 = 1 * 11/5

x/3 = 11/5

x = 11/5 * 3

x = 33/5

Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

6 3/5

The correct option is the first one
