Question

Three different golfers played a different number of holes today. Rory played 9 holes and had a total of 42 strokes. Jordan played 18 holes and had a total of 79 strokes. Rickie played 27 holes and had a total of 123 strokes. Which golfer had the lowest number of strokes per hole? Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

Jordan had the lowest number of strokes per hole

Explanation:

1) Total holes played by Rory = 9

Total strokes of Rory = 42

Number of stroke per hole: Rory

`(42 strokes)/(9 hole)=4.667 strokes/hole`

2)Total holes played by Jordan = 18

Total strokes of Jordan = 79

Number of stroke per hole: Jordan

`(79 strokes)/(18 hole)=4.389 strokes/hole`

3) Total holes played by Rickie = 27

Total strokes of Rickie = 123

Number of stroke per hole: Rickie

`(123 strokes)/(27 hole)=4.556 strokes/hole`

4.667 strokes/hole > 4.556 strokes/hole > 4.389 strokes/hole

Rory > Rickie > Jordan

Jordan had the lowest number of strokes per hole

Answer 2

See below

Explanation:

The units are stokes per hole or strokes / hole

• Rory: 42/9 = 4.66667
• Jordan: 79/18 = 4.38889 <<< Answer
• Rickie: 123/27 = 4.5555

Jordan had the lowest number of strokes / hole followed by Rickie and finally Rory.
