Question

To have batting averages over 0.500,how many hits in 45 times at bat would Raul and Karen need

Answer 1

You would have to multiply 0.500(0.5) to 45 and you would get 22.5

Answer 2

They would need 23 hits at 45 times at bat.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of hits.

We can set up the following inequality:
`(x)/(45) >0.500`

Now, multiplying both sides by 45 we get the solution:

`x > 22.5`

To have individual batting averages over 0.500, Raul and Karen would each need 23 hits for every 45 times at bat.
