There are 5 oranges and 11 strawberries for 4 person,

then for 1 person,

$(5)/(4)\text{ and }(11)/(4)$
$1.25\text{ oranges and }2.75\text{ strawberries}$

Then for 2 people,

$1.25*2\text{ and 2.75}*2$
$2.5\text{ oranges and }5.5\text{ strawberries}$

Hence for 2 people the fruit salad receipe needs 2.5 oranges and 5.5 strawberries.
