ANSWER

12 runs

Step-by-step explanation

We have that the baseball pitcher allowed 3 runs in 9 innings.

Let the number of runs he allowed in 36 innings be x.

This means that:

3 runs = 9 innings

x runs = 36 innings

Cross-multiply:

=> 3 * 36 = 9 * x

Divide both sides by 9:


\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{3\cdot\text{ 36}}{9} \\ x\text{ = }12\text{ runs} \end{gathered}

Therefore, at this rate he would allow 12 runs
