Explanation:

Step1: Calculate servings from 1 apple

Each apple makes $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}} = 3$ servings

Step2: Calculate total servings

$5 \times 3 = 15$

Step3: Calculate total train capacity

$23 \times 108$
First compute $20 \times 108 = 2160$, then $3 \times 108 = 324$, sum: $2160 + 324 = 2484$

Answer:

1. 15
2. C) 2,484
