To find the total number of apples in the box, you need to add David and Jamal's portions together.
David ate 3 2/3 apples, which can be written as 11/3 apples.
Jamal ate 5 3/9 apples, which can be written as 48/9 apples.
Adding their portions together, 11/3 + 48/9 = (33/9) + (48/9) = 81/9 apples.
Simplifying the fraction, 81/9 = 9 apples.
Therefore, there were 9 apples in the box.
