To find out how many apples Juan put in the bowl, you can use the following formula:
\[
\text{Number of apples} = \frac{\text{Total mass of apples}}{\text{Mass of each apple}}
\]
Given that:
- Total mass of apples = 18 lbs
- Mass of each apple = 2 lbs
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Number of apples} = \frac{18 \text{ lbs}}{2 \text{ lbs/apple}} = 9
\]
Therefore, there were **9 apples** in the bowl.
