Question

Homer has four times as many hits in baseball than interceptions in football. Homer has made a total of 120 hits and interceptions. How many of each has Homer made? (Matrix on the calculator)

Answer 1

Answer:

If in football. Then Homer has made a total of 24 interceptions and 96 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

if we know that Homer has four times as many hits in baseball than interceptions that means how ever many interceptions he has its four times greater that that number so if he had 5 interceptions then you would do 5 x 4 and the number of hit would be 20 so if you already know the number of hits all together like we do you would divide by 5 cause the number of hits count as 4/5 and interceptions is 1/5 of that so we do 120/5 which gives us 24 and to find the number of hit we times that by 4 then we get 96 and to check our answer 96 + 24 = 120
