            The solution by @josgarithmetic is INCORRECT.


            The correct solution is below.



<pre>
(A)  Use the proportion

         {{{strawberries/raspberries}}} = {{{3/5}}} = {{{240/r}}}.


     From the proportion,  r = {{{(240*5)/3}}} = 80*5 = 400 grams.   <U>ANSWER</U>



(B)  Use the same proportion

         {{{strawberries/raspberries}}} = {{{3/5}}} = {{{s/800}}}.


     From the proportion,  s = {{{(800*3)/5}}} = 160*3 = 480 grams.   <U>ANSWER</U>
