The player gets_____ hits for every 15 times he strikes out.


If the player gets 46 hits, he strikes ______ out times.

Answer 1

Uhhh 1. 10 2. uhhh 69

Answer 2

Given, a baseball player strikes out 3 times for 2 hits.

The baseball player strikes out 1 time for 2/3 hits.

The baseball player strikes out 15 times for

(2/3)× 15 hits

(2×15)/3 hits

30/3 hits

10 hits

So the player gets 10 hits for every 15 times he strikes out.

Now we have to find how many times he strikes out if he gets 46 hits.

The player gets 2 hits for 3 times strikes out

The player gets 1 hit for 3/2 times strikes out

The player gets 46 hits for (3/2)×46 times strikes out

(3/2)×46

(3×46)/2

138/2 = 69

So if the player gets 46 hits, he strikes out 69 times.
