Answer:

10

Explanation:

these are small bags (just as comment), so in real life the cost of using bags would add significantly to the price of the apples.

anyway, so we need to find how many units of 3/5 pounds do we need to get 6 pounds ?

3/5 × x = 6

3 × x = 30

x = 10

she buys 10 bags to get 6 pounds.
