Answer:

50 Candy

Explanation:

We know that 2/5 of the bag is 60 candy. By taking this information we can conclude that 1/5 of the bag is 30 candy. We know that 1/5 of the bag is 30, so 30 times 5 is 150 candy.

Now that we have found out that there is 150 candy total we can know divde 150 by 3 to find out how much candy is in 1/3 of the bag.

150/3 = 50 Candy

1/3 of the bag represent 50 candy.
