Question

Kim's softball team is playing in the championship game. They are losing by a score of 17 to 6. There are 4 innings to go. Kim wants to know how many runs her team needs per inning to win the game if the other team does not score. (Each run is worth 11 point.)
Let r represent the number of runs per inning. Assume that the team scores the same number of runs per inning, and write an inequality to determine the number of runs per inning needed to win the game.



Find the minimum whole number of runs needed per inning for Kim's team to win the big game runs per inning

Answer 1

They are 11 runs down. 17 - 6 = 11 They have 4 at bats to go. 3 runs each of 4 at bats = 12 runs. 12 new runs plus 6 you have scored will give you 18 runs, if you do not allow your opponent any more runs! If you allow your opponents to score , you will need to add those to your answer!
