To find out how many apples were in the bowl, we can use the information provided about the mass of each apple and the total mass.
1. Each apple has a mass of 2 lbs.
2. The total mass of the apples is 18 lbs.
We can set up the equation:
Total mass = Number of apples × Mass of each apple
Let \( n \) be the number of apples:
\[
18 \text{ lbs} = n \times 2 \text{ lbs}
\]
To solve for \( n \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 lbs:
\[
n = \frac{18 \text{ lbs}}{2 \text{ lbs}} = 9
\]
So, the number of apples in the bowl is **9**.
