Question

A baseball pitcher allowed to runs in nine innings. At that rate how many runs would he allow in 54 innings?

Answer 1

If the pitcher allows two runs in nine innings, then he would allow 2/9 runs per inning on average.

Therefore, in 54 innings he would allow (2/9) * 54 = 12 runs.

So, the pitcher would allow 12 runs in 54 innings.
