Question

Matthew threw 55 pitches in a baseball game. Of those pitches, 4/5 were strikes.

How many of Matthew’s pitches were strikes?

Answer 1

55/5 =11
11x4=44
The answer is 44

Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is 44.

To find our answer we have to multiply 55 by 4/5. Then we get the following:


`55 * (4)/(5) = (55)/(1) * (4)/(5) = (220)/(5) = 44`

Therefore, 44 of Matthew's pitches were strikes.
