Best Answer

This takes me back a few years. My grandad use to ask a similar question which was 'If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight, how many apples in a pound of plums?', to which the answer was always 'A lemon!'.

I'm sure you have to be of a certain generation to appreciate the humour of this....

My Grandad's version was: 'If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight, how many apples are there in a barrel of grapes? The answer is 'A railway train'. 'And where does that come in?' answer: 'The station'. Every generation of the family was subjected to this nonsense on any family occasion. We trotted it out after his funeral, with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren all chorusing the answers.

How many apples are in a thousand pound?

It depends on the weight of each apple. Since apples aren't all a consistent weight, it is impossible to say for sure. What you should do is take 1000 divided by the weight of the apples in your problem, and then you'll know the total number of those particular apples it takes to weigh a thousand pounds. Without knowing the weight, its impossible to know the number. It could be one, giant, 1000lb apple.
