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

1 answer

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.
