Question

A baseball field was measured to be 125 yards from Home Plate to deep center field. How many baseball bats could be lined up (end to end) from home plate to the center field fence if the baseball bats are 91.5 cm in length

Answer 1

Answer:

Almost 125 bats (124.92) can be lined up from home plate to the center field fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a baseball field was measured to be 125 yards from Home Plate to deep center field.

We have to calculate how many  baseball bats (91.5 cm in length) could be lined up (end to end) from home plate to the center field fence.

One yard is equivalent to 0.9144 meters.

One meter is equivalent to 100 cm.

Let D the distance from home plate to the center field fence and L the bat length.

Then, the amount of bats b that can be lined up is:

$b=\dfrac{D}{L}=\left(\dfrac{125\;\text{yd}}{91.5\;\text{cm}}\right)\cdot \left(\dfrac{0.9144\;\text{m}}{1\;\text{yd}}\right)\cdot \left(\dfrac{100\;\text{cm}}{1\;\text{m}}\right)\\\\\\b=\dfrac{(125)(0.9144)(100)}{91.5}=\dfrac{11,430}{91.5}=124.92$
