$\frac{3}{5}$ $3/5$ cups of sugar

Explanation:

Start by figuring out what to multiply $\frac{1}{3}$ $1/3$ by in order to get $1$ $1$ .
$1 = \frac{1}{3} x \to \frac{3}{3} = \frac{1}{3} x$ $1=1/3x -> 3/3=1/3x$
$\frac{\frac{3}{3}}{\frac{1}{3}}$ $(3/3)/(1/3)$ is the same as $(\frac{3}{3}) \cdot (\frac{3}{1}) = \frac{9}{3} = 3$ $(3/3)*(3/1)=9/3=3$
So, $x = 3$ $x=3$
Now, apply this $x$ $x$ to $\frac{1}{5}$ $1/5$ cups of sugar to determine how much sugar you need for it to match that of flour.
$y$ $y$ (amount of sugar needed)
$y = \frac{1}{5} x$ $y=1/5x$ , where $x = 3$ $x=3$
$\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{3}{1} = \frac{3}{5}$ $1/5*3/1=3/5$
