Answer:
[tex]24\ cups\ of\ peaches[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
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]
