Question

The Braves played a 9 inning baseball game. For every inning they scored 4 runs, and for every 2 runs they scored, they had 5 hits. How many hits did they have during the game?

Answer 1

Answer:$90\ hits$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "r" the total number of runs they scored during the game and "h" the total number of hits  they had during the game.

You know that they play a total of 9 innings and they scored 4 runs in every inning.

This means that you can find the total number of runs they scored in 9 innings by multiplying 4 runs by 9. Then:

$r=(4)(9)\\\\r=36$

Knowing that they scored a total of 36 runs, and knowing that for every 2 runs they had 5 hits, you get that the total number of hits they had during the game is:

$h=\frac{(36)(5)}{(2)}\\\\h=90$
