The Brooklyn Dodgers in the middle of a scoring frenzy. They scored 24 runs over 8 innings. How many runs did they score during each inning? What is the equation? Show your work.

$${\frac{{\mathtt{24}}}{{\mathtt{8}}}}$$
which equals 3 runs per inning.
However, the Dodgers at that time were called the "Brooklyn Bums" for a good reason.
