Question

In bowling, knocking down all of the pins with the first ball of a frame is called a strike. Roni is practicing bowling and gets a strike times out of attempts. Her goal is to have a minimum strike rate of . Which inequality could Roni use to determine the minimum number of consecutive strikes she needs to achieve her goal?

Answer 1

`0.50 \leq (x+2)/(x+10)\\`

At least 6 strikes

Explanation:

The required numerical data is missing from the question. In the original question, Roni gets a strike 2 out of 10 times and her goal is to have a minimum strike rate of 50%. The number of consecutive strikes required is given by the following inequality:

`0.50 \leq (x+2)/(x+10)\\`

Solving the inequality:

`0.5x+5 \leq x+2\\3\leq0.5x\\x\geq6`

Roni needs at least 6 strikes.

After 6 strikes, she would have 8 out of 16, which equals exactly 50%.
