Question

"One baseball game has 9innings. During the season there are 45 innings that are at home and 45 innings that are away. If 36 of the innings for the season have been played how many games remain?

Answer 1

6 baseball games remain in the season.

Explanation:

Let the number of baseball games remaining be 'x'.

Given:

Number of innings in 1 baseball game = 9

Number of innings to be played at home = 45

Number of innings to be played away from home = 45

Total number of innings played in the given season = 36

Now, total number of innings to be played in a season is equal to the sum of the innings played at home and away from home.

So, Total number of innings = 45 + 45 = 90 innings.

Now, out of 90 innings, 36 innings are already played.

So, the number of innings that remain is given as:

Innings remaining = Total innings - Innings already over

Innings remaining = 90 - 36 = 54

Now, 9 innings is equivalent to 1 baseball game.

So, 54 innings is equivalent to 'x' baseball games.

Setting up a proportion and solving by cross multiplication, we get:

`(9)/(1)=(54)/(x)\\\\9x=54\\\\x=(54)/(9)=6`

Therefore, 6 baseball games remain in the season.
