Question

In a jump rope competition, Kyle jumped 5 more than twice as many times as Jackson. Which expression represents how many times Kyle jumped in terms of the number of times Jackson jumped, j?

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 5 + 2j

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let k represent number of Kyle jumps

Let j represent number of Jackson jumps

It is also given that Kyle jumped 5 more than twice as many times as Jackson

First, we find an expression for twice as many times as Jackson

This means 2 * Jackson's jump

Since j represents number of Jackson's jump

2 * Jackson's jump = 2j

So, Kyle jumped 5 more than twice as many times as Jackson can be represented as k = 5 more than 2j

More than means +

Hence, 5 more than 2j can be represented as 5 + 2j.

Conclusively, The expression for Kyle jumped 5 more than twice as many times as Jackson is k = 5 + 2j
