Answer: The number of cans Tom collected is 10 times greater than the number of cans Jim collected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Jim: 70 cans Tom: 700 cans

So, tom collected "x" times the number of cans that Jim collected

Mathematically speaking:

70 x = 700

Solving for x

x = 700/70

x = 10 times

The number of cans Tom collected is 10 times greater than the number of cans Jim collected
