Q. Three different golfers played a different number of holes today. Shanika played 99 holes and had a total of 4343 strokes. Alicia played 1818 holes and had a total of 7979 strokes. Rickie played 2727 holes and had a total of 123123 strokes.\newlineWhich golfer had the lowest number of strokes per hole?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) Shanika\newline(B) Alicia\newline(C) Rickie
  1. Calculate Shanika's Strokes: First, let's calculate the number of strokes per hole for each golfer. We start with Shanika, who played 99 holes and had a total of 4343 strokes. To find the strokes per hole, we divide the total strokes by the number of holes played.\newlineCalculation: Strokes per hole for Shanika = Total strokes / Number of holes = 439\frac{43}{9}
  2. Calculate Alicia's Strokes: Next, we calculate the strokes per hole for Alicia, who played 1818 holes and had a total of 7979 strokes. Similar to the previous step, we divide the total strokes by the number of holes played.\newlineCalculation: Strokes per hole for Alicia = Total strokes / Number of holes = 7918\frac{79}{18}
  3. Calculate Rickie's Strokes: Finally, we calculate the strokes per hole for Rickie, who played 2727 holes and had a total of 123123 strokes. Again, we divide the total strokes by the number of holes played.\newlineCalculation: Strokes per hole for Rickie = Total strokes / Number of holes = 123/27123 / 27
  4. Compare Strokes per Hole: Now, let's compare the strokes per hole for each golfer to determine who had the lowest number of strokes per hole. We have:\newlineShanika = 43/94.7843 / 9 \approx 4.78\newlineAlicia = 79/184.3979 / 18 \approx 4.39\newlineRickie = 123/274.56123 / 27 \approx 4.56\newlineComparing these values, we see that Alicia had the lowest number of strokes per hole.
