Given:

A pineapple chew was selected 24 times.

An apple chew was selected 6 times.

A lime chew was selected 26 times.

Let's first determine the probability of selecting apple chew based on the result of the experiment:


\text{ Probability}_{Apple\text{ }Chew}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 6}}{\text{ 56}}\text{ = }(3)/(28)

Let's now determine the number of apple chew expected if the experiment is repeated 200 times.


((3)/(28))(200)
\text{ = }(600)/(28)\text{ = 21.428571}\ldots
\text{ }\approx\text{ 21}

Therefore, the answer is around 21 times.
