Answer 1

To find the unit rate of pounds of apples per person, divide the total pounds of apples (3 1/2 pounds) by the total number of people (20).

3 1/2 pounds divided by 20 people equals (7/2) / 20 = 7/2 * 1/20

Simplifying the fraction, we get (7 * 1) / (2 * 20) = 7/40

Therefore, the unit rate of pounds of apples per person is 7/40.
