Question

The Kicking Cacti and the Sprinting Stingrays met in their town's annual kickball

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that each of the pitchers for the Stingrays pitched for $\mathbf{\frac{11}{3} = 3\frac{2}{3}}$ innings.

• This question is solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

• In total, the Stingrays pitched 11 innings, with 3 pitchers. Each pitcher pitched the same amount of innings, hence, 1 pitcher pitched x innings.

The rule of three is:

3 pitchers - 11 innings

1 pitcher - x innings

Applying cross multiplication:

$3x = 11$

$x = \frac{11}{3}$

11 divided by 3 has result 3 with remainder 2, hence, also considering the answer as a mixed number:

• Each of the pitchers for the Stingrays pitched for $\mathbf{\frac{11}{3} = 3\frac{2}{3}}$ innings.
