Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Lindsay and Lorraine are trying to match the jump rope world record.

Number of jumps they need to jump together in a row = 48

Lindsay has gotten 14 jumps in a row, and Lorraine has gotten 13.

Total jumps = 14+13=27

Let 'j' be the number of more jumps they need to match the record.

j = Total jumps needed - Total jumps they already gotten

⇒ j = 48-27

⇒ j = 21

Hence, they need 21 more jumps to match the record.
