If this is what your talking about this is your answer:
The batch of fruit salad has an equal amount of apples and cherries. This is because there are 1 1/2 c of apples and 1 2/4 c of cherries. the 1 1/2 is already simplified but the 1 2/4 is not. 1 2/4 is the same as 1 1/2, therefore apples and cherries have equal amounts.
