    Bob has 27 books, Charles has 2/3 the amount of Bob.

    Multiply two thirds of 27 to find the amount of books Charles.

    2/3 * 27 = 18

    Charles has 18 books.

    Jim has three times as many books as Charles.

    Multiply 18 by 3 to find how many books Jim has.

    18 * 3 = 54

    Jim has 54 books

    The question asks how many books Jim has, so your answer should be: Jim has 54 books.
