Nick can throw a baseball three more than 4 times the number of feet, f, that Jeff can throw the baseball. Which numbered expression can be used to find the number of feet that Nick can throw the ball?

N (nick) J (jeff) F (feet)

N=J*4+3

more than is +
4 times is multiplying by 4 (*4)
to my understanding this is the numerical equation

Hi Arib102502!
So let's write this out
Nick can throw a baseball 3>4 times than F. So to write an equation to find how many feet Nick can throw the ball we do 4F+3. Now this makes sense because he throws it +3 (three more) than 4F.
Hope this helps!
