First, we need to find the average number of apples per person.

We start by adding the three totals together, getting 20 + 60 + 40 = 120 apples.

To finish finding the average number, we perform 120 / 3 = 40 apples per person.

Since Jim has 20 apples, we divide the average of 40 by Jim's total to find 40 / 20 = 2 times that Jim's amount can fit into the average.

So, the final answer is 2
