Question

Barry Bonds holds the major league home run record with 73 in one season. If Pete Alonso wants to break his record, how many homeruns would he have to hit on average over 162 games to break Bonds' record?

Answer 1

73 homeruns in one season

162 games Pete Alonso must do at least 74 homeruns

He must do 74 homeruns and 88 will not be homeruns.

On average he must do 74/162 = 0.45 homeruns per game
