Jim hits a base ball 4 times as often as tony each game. He also hits 20 baseballs every monday at practice. How many base will him hit this week if tony hits 4 balls at the game saturday

Answer :

Answer:

Jim will hit 36 base ball hits this week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hits made by tony be 'x'.

Given:

Jim hits a base ball 4 times as often as tony each game.

Number of base ball hits made by Jim = [tex]4x[/tex]

Number of base ball hits made by Jim on Monday = 20 hits.

We need to find the Number of base ball hits made by Jim is Tony had hit 4 balls on Saturday.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

to find the Number of base ball hits made by Jim on Saturday we will substitute the value of [tex]'x =4'[/tex]

Number of base ball hits made by Jim on Saturday = [tex]4x =4\times4 =16\ hits[/tex]

Now we can say that;

Number of base ball hits made by Jim this week is equal to sum of Number of base ball hits made by Jim on Monday and Number of base ball hits made by Jim on Saturday.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of base ball hits made by Jim this week = 20 + 16 = 36 hits

Hence Jim will hit 36 base ball hits this week.
