Answer 1

`B = (3)/(2) * 21,356`

Explanation:

Given

Represent Jimmy with J and Bob with B

`J = 21,356`

`B = 1(1)/(2) * J`

Required

Determine the expression for B

`B = 1(1)/(2) * J`

Substitute 21,356 for J

`B = 1(1)/(2) * 21,356`

Convert Mixed fraction to improper

`B = (3)/(2) * 21,356`

The above is an expression for B

Solving further, we have

`B = (3 * 21,356)/(2)`

`B = (64068)/(2)`

`B = 32034`
