  1. Pears are 2/5 of the fruit.Respuesta correcta
  2. Plums are 3/5 of the fruit.Respuesta correcta
  3. The number of pears is 2/3 of the number of plums.Respuesta correcta
  4. Pears are 2/3 of the fruit.
  5. Plums are 2/5 of the number of pears.

Explicación

The combined whole has 5 parts, so pears occupy 2/5 and plums occupy 3/5. The pairwise quotient is still 2/3, but calling 2/3 the pear share confuses a comparison with a fraction of the whole.
