Question 916890
Suppose a major league baseball player has hit 7 home runs in the first 16 games, and he keeps up this pace throughout the 162-game season. 
(a) Express the number y of home runs in terms of the number x of games played.
Use a proportion::
y/x = 7/16
y = (7/16)x
--------------------------
 (b) How many home runs will the player hit for the season? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Assume 162 games in the season.
y = (7/16)162
y = 70.875
