Question

A coach orders each team member two jerseys. What are two that correctly relate the number of team members to the number of jerseys?

Answer 1

If each team member orders two jerseys, you can use the following two equations to relate the number of team members (let's denote it as \( n \)) to the number of jerseys (\( j \)):

1. **Equation 1**: \( j = 2n \)

This equation states that the number of jerseys \( j \) is equal to twice the number of team members \( n \).

2. **Equation 2**: \( n = \frac{j}{2} \)

This equation states that the number of team members \( n \) is equal to the number of jerseys \( j \) divided by 2.

Both equations convey the same relationship, merely expressed in different forms.
