Question 1054780: Suppose you play third base for your high school softball team. In the last four games, you had a total of 6 hits in 15 at-bats. Assuming you will have 4 at-bats in tomorrow’s game, how many hits will you need in order to have a batting average greater than .450? Write and solve an inequality to find the

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +x+ = the number of hits I
need To have an average of +.45+
----------------------------------
+%28+6+%2B+x+%29+%2F+%28+15+%2B+4+%29+%3E+.45+
+6+%2B+x+%3E+.45%2A19+
+x+%3E+8.55+-+6+
+x+%3E+2.55+
So, +x+=+3+, or 3 out of 4 hits tomorrow
is the least number of hits needed to
average greater than .450
