Tommy collects baseball cards. For every card that has a pitcher on it he has 8 that do not. If Tommy has a total of 360 baseball cards, what fraction of them are of players who are not pitchers?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pitcher and 8 no pitcher, so we can say:

8 out of 9 have no pitchers in them

There are 360 in total and 8/9th of them won't have pitchers on them. So that is:

[tex]360*\frac{8}{9}=320[/tex]

So, 320 out of total 360 do not have pitchers on them. In fractional amount, that is:

320/360 = 8/9

So, [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] are not pitchers
