Answer:

The total cost of the apples was $5

Explanation:

The amount of apples Bob bought was
$3\ (1)/(3)$ lbs.

$3\ (1)/(3)$ is a mixed number.

$3\ (1)/(3)$ is the same as:
$3 +(1)/(3) =3.3333\ lbs$

If every pound of apples costs $ 1.5 and Bob bought 3.333 pounds then the amount of money he spent was 3.333 times $ 1.5. This is:

$3,333 * 1.5 = \$\ 5$

The total cost of the apples was $5
