Every three times I clean my bedroom, my mother makes me an apple pie. I cleaned my bedroom 9 times. How many apple pies does she owe me?

lol...that sounds like a pretty good deal

every 3 times u clean, u get an apple pie....u have cleaned 9 times...
9/3 = 3 apple pies <==

or this way...
3 times = 1 pie
3 times = 1 pie
3 times = 1 pie
--------------------add
9 times = 3 pies
