Math 6th grade Suppose Michael Jordan was at bat 21 times. If the ratio of strikeouts to all other at bats is 3:4, how many times did Michael Jordan strikeout?

Explanation

Lets say he had 3 strike outs and 4 other at bats. We get the ratio 3:4 describing the connection between strikeouts and other at bats. When I say "other at bats", I mean "anything that is not a strikeout". So this includes hitting the ball and getting a walk.

We can see that he has 3+4 = 7 at bats total (ie 7 attempts total). This is not 21, but it's a factor of 21

We can multiply that 7 by 3 to get 7*3 = 21

Multiply the other parts of the ratio 3:4 by 3 like so

The ratio 3:4 is equivalent to 9:12 after tripling each part.

He has 9 strikeouts and 12 other at bats, giving 9+12 = 21 attempts total. This helps confirm we have the right ratio.
