Math 6th grade Suppose Michael Jordan was at bat 21 times. If the ratio of strikeouts to all other at bats is 3:4, how many times did Michael Jordan strikeout?

Explanation

Lets say he had 3 strike outs and 4 other at bats. We get the ratio 3:4 describing the connection between strikeouts and other at bats. When I say "other at bats", I mean "anything that is not a strikeout". So this includes hitting the ball and getting a walk.

We can see that he has 3+4 = 7 at bats total (ie 7 attempts total). This is not 21, but it's a factor of 21

We can multiply that 7 by 3 to get 7*3 = 21

Multiply the other parts of the ratio 3:4 by 3 like so

The ratio 3:4 is equivalent to 9:12 after tripling each part.

He has 9 strikeouts and 12 other at bats, giving 9+12 = 21 attempts total. This helps confirm we have the right ratio.

9 strikeouts

Step-by-step explanation:

9 is the answer

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

english, cause i can’t you
