Answer 2

The LA Dodgers hit approximately 35 home-runs.

Explanation:

Suppose, the number of home-runs for the LA Dodgers is
`x`

The total home-runs in the entire Major League is 583 and the number of home-runs accounted for the LA Dodgers is 6% of the entire Major League.

So, according to the ratio of number of home-runs for the LA Dodgers to the entire League, the equation will be........

`(x)/(583)= (6)/(100)\\ \\ 100x=583*6\\ \\ 100x=3498\\ \\ x=(3498)/(100)=34.98 \approx 35`

So, the number of home-runs the LA Dodgers hit was approximately 35.
