The ball will just about pass because...
you need to find the percentage that the ball bounced back so you would need to do 6 ÷ 4.1 which is 0.683... Then to find the percentage you would multiply the answer by 100 so: 0.68333×100, which equals 68.333%. This means that the ball will pass the inspection as it scores between 68% and 75%.
