In baseball, shintaro had 4 hits in his last 12 times at bat.

if shintaro has 36 at bats in the next week, about how many hits will he have?

For this case we can propose a rule of three according to the Shontaro base performance.

4 hits ------------> 12 times at bat

x -------------------> 36 times at bat

Where "x" represents the number of hits he will have the following week, based on his previous performance.

So, Shintaro will have 12 hits in 36 times at bat

Shintaro will have 12 hits in 36 times at bat

OPtion B

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
