Question

What is the rate of 135 pitches to 45 strikes?

Answer 1

1 strike to 3 pitches. Divide 135 by 45

Answer 2

Number of pitches = 135

Number of strikes = 45

Rate =
`(Number of pitches)/(Number of strikes)`

Rate =
`(135)/(45)`

The greatest common factor of 135 and 45 is 45

Rate =
`(135 / 45 )/(45 / 45)`

Rate =
`(3)/(1)`

Rate = 3
`(pitches)/(strikes)`
