The strike-out king gets only one hit every 25 games. His nearest rival, the strike-out price, gets one hit every 20 games. Together, how many games will it take them to get 18 hits?
+37146 Are they playing in the SAME games or separate games?
If they are playing in the SAME games, after 200 games they will have 18 hits.
If they are playing in separate games it will be 400 total games or so (assuming they each play the SAME NUMBER of games...200 ea)
+129852 Let's see how to solve this algebraically....
The king will get a hit in 1/25 of the games he plays and the prince will get a hit in 1/20 of the games he plays.
So.......letting n be the number of games it will take them to get 18 hits......
(1/25)n + (1/20)n = 18
((20 + 25) / 500) n = 18 multiply both sides by 500
45n = 9000 divide both sides by 45
n = 200 games
