Q. A baseball team has three different pitchers. Randy allowed 22 runs and pitched 33 innings. Felix allowed 44 runs and pitched 55 innings. Johan allowed 55 runs and pitched 77 innings.\newlineWhich pitcher has the lowest number of runs allowed per inning?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Randy\newline(B) Felix\newline(C) Johan
  1. Calculate Runs per Inning: To find out which pitcher has the lowest number of runs allowed per inning, we need to calculate the runs allowed per inning for each pitcher. This is done by dividing the number of runs allowed by the number of innings pitched for each pitcher.
  2. Randy's Calculation: For Randy, the calculation is:\newlineRuns allowed per inning =Number of runs allowedNumber of innings pitched= \frac{\text{Number of runs allowed}}{\text{Number of innings pitched}}\newline=2 runs3 innings= \frac{2 \text{ runs}}{3 \text{ innings}}\newline=0.6667 runs per inning= 0.6667 \text{ runs per inning} (rounded to four decimal places for precision)
  3. Felix's Calculation: For Felix, the calculation is:\newlineRuns allowed per inning = Number of runs allowed / Number of innings pitched\newline= 4 runs5 innings\frac{4 \text{ runs}}{5 \text{ innings}}\newline= 0.80000.8000 runs per inning (rounded to four decimal places for precision)
  4. Johan's Calculation: For Johan, the calculation is:\newlineRuns allowed per inning = Number of runs allowed / Number of innings pitched\newline= 5 runs7 innings\frac{5 \text{ runs}}{7 \text{ innings}}\newline= 0.71430.7143 runs per inning (rounded to four decimal places for precision)
  5. Compare Results: Now we compare the runs allowed per inning for each pitcher to determine who has the lowest number:\newlineRandy: 0.66670.6667 runs per inning\newlineFelix: 0.80000.8000 runs per inning\newlineJohan: 0.71430.7143 runs per inning\newlineRandy has the lowest runs allowed per inning.
