Answer 1

Answer: Number of runs hit by May is 51.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Runs hit by Mays and Mickey = 88 runs

Let the number of runs hit by Mantle be x

Let the number of runs hit by May be x+14

According to question,

`x+x+14=88\\\\2x=88-14\\\\2x=74\\\\x=(74)/(2)=37`

Number of runs hit by Mantle is 37 runs

Number of runs hit by May is given by

`37+14=51\ runs`

Hence, Number of runs hit by May is 51.
