Question

Matthew threw 55 pitches in a baseball game. Of those pitches, 4/5 were strikes.

How many of Matthew’s pitches were strikes?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is 44.

To find our answer we have to multiply 55 by 4/5. Then we get the following:

$55 \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{55}{1} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{220}{5} = 44$

Therefore, 44 of Matthew's pitches were strikes.

Answer 2

55/5 =11
11x4=44
The answer is 44
