Ahhh, I have this challenge of the week problem.
And im clueless of what I have to go.
Can someone break it down for me?
And maybe if you want to, solve the question for me?

Challenge of the Week Problem;;
Susan is on the women’s fast pitch softball team.
She can find her batting average by dividing the number of hits by the number of times at bat.
Find her current batting average if she has made eight hits in thirty-two times at bat.
Susan has one more game to go.
She figures she will bat four more times in the last game.
Is it possible that she will bat better than .300 for the season if she does well in the last game?

8/32 = .250



x/36 = .300, x = 10.8, so she needs 10.8 - 8 =2.8, round to 3 hits.



If she gets 3 hits out of 4, she will be 11/36 = .305

Abdul is a million 3/4 inches taller than Emily. there's a 5 a million/2 inch distinction between Emily's height and Nazir's height. Juzer is taller than Abdul yet 2 a million/4 inches shorter than Nazir. Juzer is 6 feet tall. Order the persons from shortest to tallest. Then locate each and every guy or woman's height enable A = Abdul's height enable E = Emily's height enable N = nazir's height enable J = Juzer's height. A = a million 3/4 +E J =6ft |N -E | =5 a million/2 J > A J = N - 2 a million/4 answer: J =6ft and from J = N -2 a million/4 , we get N = J +2 a million/4 = 8 a million/4 feet enable's assume N is larger than E, then N -E =5 a million/2 E = N -5 a million/2 = 8 a million/4 - 5 2/4 = 7 5/4 -5 2/4 = 2 3/4 A =a million 3/4 +E = a million 3/4 + 2 3/4 = 3 6/4 = 4 2/4 = 4 a million/2 ordering them: Emily (2 3/4 feet), Abdul (4 a million/2 feet), Juzer (6 feet), Nazir (8 a million/4 feet)

okay first you devide 8 by 36 and that should be 0.222222222

9 /36=0.25

10/36=0.277777778

11/36=0.305555556
