To find the unit rate, we need to divide the total pounds of apples by the number of people.
Jorie bought 3 1/2 pounds of apples, which is the same as 7/2 pounds.
So, the unit rate of pounds of apples per person is:
(7/2 pounds) / (20 people) = (7/2) / (20/1) = 7/2 * 1/20 = 7/40.
Therefore, the unit rate of pounds of apples per person is 7/40.
