Answer 1

?

Answer 2

Does the person asking the question know that if the score is tied after 9 innings (or however many they typically play in championship softball games) they continue playing?

Answer 3

what??????

Answer 4

Obviously if Kim's team scores twice and the other team doesn't score they would win 18-17, right? So that would be two runs over the course of four innings.

Answer 5

i need an inequality

Answer 6

Well they can avoid losing if they score greater than or equal to one run over the course of four innings.

Answer 7

>1/4

Answer 8

is your answer

Answer 9

thanks

Answer 10

This question is really the worst (on so many levels). We could solve this with the expectation that Kim's team can win in extra innings so we only need:

Requisite Runs per Inning \(\ge 1/4\)


But that is ridiculous. There have been 33 runs scored in the game so far.

Answer 11

this aint right

Answer 12

the inequality is 6+4r>17 and the minimum # is 3 yall
