Sense 3*5=15 and i guessing 3 is the unit rate then 2*5=10 and 2 is the unit rate as well then you answer is 10kg; D

So the 2:3 means that for every 2kg of fruit you have there are 3kg of sugar. Divide the sugar by three, giving you 5kg. Then multiply that by two to find the fruit = 10kg. 10kg:15kg
