to have batting averages over o.500,how many hits in 45 times at bat would Raul and Karen need?

Question

i am stuck

Answer 1

Let x = number of hits.

 

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

Now, multiply both sides of the inequality by 45 to give 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.
