Answer:

[tex]24\ cups\ of\ peaches[/tex]

x ----> cups of peaches

y ----> cups of cherries

we know that

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ----> equation A

we know that

To make 5 cups of fruit salad (2+3), we need 2 cups of peaches

so

using proportion

[tex]\frac{5}{2}=\frac{60}{x}\\\\x=60(2)/5\\\\x=24\ cups\ of\ peaches[/tex]
