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

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

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

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