Let me write it down: S, T, R, A, W, B, E, R, R, Y. Wait, hold on, is that correct? Wait, no, that might not be right. Let me check the spelling again. S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. Yeah, that seems right. But to be absolutely sure, I'll write each letter in order and number them to keep track.

So, position 1: S
Position 2: T
Position 3: R
Position 4: A
Position 5: W
Position 6: B
Position 7: E
Position 8: R
Position 9: R
Position 10: Y

Now, that's ten letters. Wait, but the word "strawberry" doesn't have ten letters, does it? Let me check again. Let's spell it: strawberry. S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. Hmm, actually, that's 10 letters because after Y comes another R and another R? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait, maybe I'm overcounting.

Let me go through it again. S (1), T (2), R (3), A (4), W (5), B (6), E (7), R (8), R (9), Y (10). Oh, actually, that's correct. The word "strawberry" does have 10 letters. It's "straw" plus "berry," so straw (5 letters) and berry (5 letters) together make strawberry. So that's correct.

Now, I need to look for the letter "r." Let me go through each position:

1: S - not an R
2: T - not an R
3: R - that's one R
4: A - not an R
5: W - not an R
6: B - not an R
7: E - not an R
8: R - that's the second R
9: R - that's the third R
10: Y - not an R

Wait, so I found three Rs at positions 3, 8, and 9. So that makes three times.

But wait, I've always remembered that "strawberry" has two Rs, so maybe I'm miscounting. Let me check again more carefully.

S, T, R, A, W, B, E, R, R, Y.

Breaking it down:

S
T
R (1)
A
W
B
E
R (2)
R (3)
Y
So that does show three Rs. But I'm a bit confused because I thought there were only two. Maybe I've been wrong before. Alternatively, perhaps it's a regional spelling difference? No, I don't think so. Let me check by actually writing the word without counting: S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y.

Yes, after E comes R, then another R, so that's two Rs at the end. And one R after T at the beginning. So that makes three Rs.

Wait, but maybe I'm mishearing the word. In some pronunciations, people might not roll the Rs or pronounce both, but spelling-wise, it's S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y, which is S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. So perhaps I was wrong before, and it actually has three Rs.

So, the correct count is three Rs in "strawberry."

But wait, let's confirm once more to be sure. Let's write it out again:

S T R A W B E R R Y

Now looking for Rs:

S: no
T: no
R: yes (1)
A: no
W: no
Okay, so I need to figure out how many times the letter "r" appears in the word "strawberry." Let me start by writing out each letter of the word to make it easier to count them one by one.

The word is spelled S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y. I'll list them with their positions to keep track:

S
T
R
A
W
B
E
R
R
Y
Now, I'll go through each letter and count the Rs:

Position 1: S - Not an R.
Position 2: T - Not an R.
Position 3: R - This is the first R.
Position 4: A - Not an R.
Position 5: W - Not an R.
Position 6: B - Not an R.
Position 7: E - Not an R.
Position 8: R - This is the second R.
Position 9: R - This is the third R.
Position 10: Y - Not an R.
After going through each letter, I found three Rs in the word "strawberry." I thought there were only two, but upon counting each position carefully, it seems there are actually three Rs. To make sure, I can check a dictionary or use another method like writing the word and circling the Rs.

To double-check, I'll write the word again and circle each R:

S T R A W B E R R Y

Circling the Rs shows that there are indeed three Rs in "strawberry." Therefore, the correct answer is that the letter "r" appears three times.
The letter "r" appears three times in the word "strawberry."

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Spell the Word: The word "strawberry" is spelled as S-T-R-A-W-B-E-R-R-Y.

List Each Letter with Position:

S
T

Identify and Count Rs:

Position 3: R (1st R)
Position 8: R (2nd R)
Position 9: R (3rd R)
Conclusion: There are three Rs in the word "strawberry."
