Let's see. The word is "strawberry." I need to find out how many times the letter "r" appears in it. Okay, so I'll look at each letter in the word one by one.
First letter: s - that's not r.
Second letter: t - no, not r.
Third letter: r - yes, that's an r.
Fourth letter: a - not r.
Fifth letter: w - not r.
Sixth letter: b - no.
Seventh letter: e - not r.
Eighth letter: r - another r.
Ninth letter: y - not r.
So, I found two r's in "strawberry." Let me just double-check to make sure I didn't miss any.
Starting over: s, t, r, a, w, b, e, r, y.
Yes, the third letter is r, and the eighth letter is r. That's two r's.
Wait a minute, is there another r hidden somewhere? Let's see.
