Question

In 1987 Babe Ruth has a record setting season in which he hit 60 home runs for New York Yankees. If babe Ruth continues at the same rate how many home runs will he hit over the next 3 seasons?

Answer 1

If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.

Explanation:

If he maintains the same rate of homeruns per season as he did in 1987 the number of home runs he'll hit over the next three seasons is the rate from 1987 multiplied by 3. We have:

number of home runs = 3*rate

number of home runs = 3*60

number of home runs = 180

If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.
