Abigail mixes 2 3pounds of walnuts with 3 5pound of dried fruit. To create more of the same mixture, how many pounds of walnuts does Abigail need to mix with one pound of dried fruit?

Let us set up an equality to represent the original ratio of walnuts to fruit..

Solve for X (2/3)/(3/5) = X/1  

(2/3)/(3/5) = X/1 (2/3) * (5/3) = X/1 10/9 = X/1 10/9 = X

Therefore, Abigail needs 10/9 pounds of walnuts to mix with one pound of dried fruit.
