As requested, let's call the number of books owned by Frank as
b.


If Frank were to double the number of books that he now owns, he would have
2b books. In fact, doubling a certain number means to multiply it by 2.


This quantity (the double of books Frank has) is greater than the number of books Mary has, which is 250. So, the answer is



2b > 250


In case you need it, the solution is



b > 125
