Problema Solution
The coach throws at least 30 ground balls to each infielder and there are four infielders. The coach has already thrown 27 balls to one infielder. Write and solve an inequality to find how many more balls can be expected to throw to the three other infielders.
Answer provided by our tutors
let x = the number of balls the coach throws at the infielders
we will assume he throws equal number of balls to each of the 3 infielder:
3x + 27 >= 4*30
by solving we find:
x >= 31
