THE CHAMPIONSHIP FORMULA ANSWERS (PAGE 4) CCSS.5.NF.1 • 5.NF.6 • 5.OA.1

Problem 10 (Pitch Count Fractions): Chet pitches \(3\frac{1}{4}\) innings, Henry pitches \(5\frac{2}{3}\) innings.

• Part A: \(3\frac{1}{4} + 5\frac{2}{3} = 3\frac{3}{12} + 5\frac{8}{12} = 8\frac{11}{12}\) innings. Answer: 8 &frac11;⁄&sub1;&sub2; innings
• Part B: Remaining to reach 9 innings: \(9 - 8\frac{11}{12} = \frac{1}{12}\) of an inning. Answer: ¹⁄&sub1;&sub2; of an inning

Problem 11 (Outfield Catch and Scale): Distance is 360 feet. Center fielder runs \(\frac{5}{8}\) of the distance.

• Part A: \(360 \times \frac{5}{8} = 45 \times 5 = 225\) feet. Answer: 225 feet
• Part B: Yards conversion: \(225 \div 3 = 75\) yards. Answer: 75 yards

Problem 12 (Catcher Frick's Signals): Match expression values.

• Expression 1 (Fastball): \([(25 - 5) \times 3] \divide 10 = [20 \times 3] \divide 10 = 60 \divide 10 = 6\).
• Expression 2 (Curveball): \(48 \divide [2 \times 3] + 9 = 48 \divide 6 + 9 = 8 + 9 = 17\).
• Expression 3 (Change-up): \(3 + 10 - 1.25 = 11.75\).
• Expression 4 (Slider): \(0.5 \times (40) - 8 = 20 - 8 = 12\).
• Answers: Fastball = 6 | Curveball = 17 | Change-up = 11.75 | Slider = 12
