To represent the phrase "3 more than 2 times the number of minutes, m," we need to break it down step by step.

First, we have "2 times the number of minutes, m," which can be written as 2m.

Next, we need to add "3 more" to 2m. This means we are adding 3 to 2m.

So the expression to represent the given phrase would be 2m + 3.

Based on the options provided, the correct expression is b. 2m + 3.
