Apples sell for $1.29 a pound, and there is an average of 3 apples per pound. About how many apples would you expect to get for $5.00?

First, you need to divide $1.29 by 3.

Did you get $.43? That's the amount that one apple costs.

Now -- divide $5.00 by .43.

That answer will tell you about how many apples you can buy for $5.00.

11.60

To find out how many apples you would expect to get for $5.00, you need to follow these steps:

1. Divide the cost of one pound of apples ($1.29) by the average number of apples in one pound (3). This will give you the cost per apple: $1.29 ÷ 3 = $0.43.

2. Next, divide the total amount of money you have ($5.00) by the cost per apple ($0.43) to find out how many apples you can buy. $5.00 ÷ $0.43 ≈ 11.63.

Therefore, you would expect to get approximately 11.63 apples for $5.00. Since you can't have a fraction of an apple, you would likely round down to 11 apples.
