Question
Sally loses 4 golf balls for every 18 holes of golf played. This summer she played 648 holes of golf. How many golf balls did Sally lose this summer?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many times Sally played 18 holes in 648 holes, and then multiply that by the number of balls she loses each time.
Step 1: Find out how many times Sally played 18 holes in 648 holes. We do this by dividing 648 by 18.
648 ÷ 18 = 36
So, Sally played 36 rounds of 18 holes.
Step 2: Multiply the number of rounds by the number of balls lost per round.
36 x 4 = 144
Therefore, Sally lost 144 golf balls this summer.
