Question

Kim's softball team was playing in the championship game. When there were \[4\] innings left, the team was losing by a score of \[17\] to \[6\] runs. In the last \[4\] innings, her team scored the same number of runs per inning, and the other team did not score any more runs. Kim's team won with the most runs.

Write an inequality to determine the number of runs per inning, \[p\], Kim's team could have scored.

Find the minimum whole number of runs per inning Kim's team could have scored.

runs per inning

Answer 1

Answer:9a

Explanation:

because it us

Answer 2

The p > 2.75, the minimum whole number of points is 3.

Here is an inequality to determine the number of points per inning, p, Kim's team could have scored:

p * innings_left + 6 > 17

Where:

p is the number of points per inning

innings_left is the number of innings left when Kim's team was losing

6 is the score of Kim's team when there were 4 innings left

17 is the score of the other team when there were 4 innings left

Solving for p, we get:

p > (17 - 6) / innings_left

p > 11 / 4

p > 2.75

Since Kim's team scored a whole number of points per inning, the minimum whole number of points they could have scored is 3.

Therefore, the inequality to determine the number of points per inning, p, Kim's team could have scored is:

p > 2.75

And the minimum whole number of points per inning Kim's team could have scored is 3.
