Answer 1

To find out how many football cards Jacob has, we can start with the information given.

Eli has 39 football cards. Jacob has 3 times as many cards as Eli, so we can calculate Jacob's cards as follows:

\[ \text{Jacob's cards} = 3 \times \text{Eli's cards} = 3 \times 39 = 117 \]

Now, we know:

• Jacob has 117 football cards.
• Tara has 111 football cards.

Now we compare the two:

1. Jacob: 117 cards
2. Tara: 111 cards

To find out who has more and by how much, we can subtract Tara's cards from Jacob's cards:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Jacob's cards} - \text{Tara's cards} = 117 - 111 = 6 \]

So, Jacob has 6 more cards than Tara.

The correct response is: Jacob has 6 more cards than Tara.
