Let's start by simplifying the expressions:
Blair has 2 x (345 × 2,907) jelly beans.
This can be calculated as:
2 × 345 = 690
690 × 2,907 = 2,005,530
Emily has (345 × 2,907) jelly beans.
This can be calculated as:
345 × 2,907 = 1,002,615
Now, we can compare the two quantities:
Blair has 2,005,530 jelly beans.
Emily has 1,002,615 jelly beans.
To find out how many times more jelly beans Blair has than Emily, we can divide Blair's quantity by Emily's quantity: 2,005,530 ÷ 1,002,615 = 2
Therefore, Blair has 2 times more jelly beans than Emily.
