Answer 2

Given:

Jimmy reads a book with 21,356 words.

Bob reads a book with one-and-a-half times as many words.

To find:

The expression that represents the number of words Bob reads.

Solution:

We have,

Number of words Jimmy reads = 21,356

Bob reads a book with one-and-a-half times as many words. So,

Number of words Bob reads = Number of words Jimmy reads × one-and-one-half

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

Therefore, the correct option is D.
