Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$9 is 3 times $3, so you can buy 3 times 2 pounds, or 6 pounds.

___

Each pound is 16 ounces, so 6 pounds is 96 ounces. We can find the number of apples by dividing this weight by the weight of one apple:

(96 oz)/(5 oz/apple) = 19.2 apples

For $9, you can buy about 19 apples.
