Answer:
A. [tex]\frac{1}{4}n=5[/tex]
The solution is: n=20
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:
- The hitter batted [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the runs the team scored.
- The hitter batted in 5 runs.
2. If [tex]n[/tex] is the number of run the team scored, then [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of [tex]n[/tex] must be equal to five runs batted by the hitter. Therefore, the equation is:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}n=5[/tex]
3. Solve for [tex]n[/tex], as following:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}n=5\\n=(5)(4)\\n=20[/tex]
