Using the porpotions: whip= (walks+hits) divide by innings pitched. the pitcher wants to lower his whip from 1.53 to 1.3. how many more innings would he have to pitch without any walks or hits? is this a reasonable goal? explain your reasoning.

This relates to ur previous questionthere were 85 innings last question and 130 walks + hits which gave a whip score of 1.53so if he wants to lower his whip (without changing his walks or hits) to 1.3
130 / (85 + x) = 1.3multiply both sides by (85 + x)
130 = 1.3(85 + x)
130 = 110.50 + 1.3x
130 - 110.50 = 1.3x
19.5 = 1.3x
19.5 / 1.3 = x
15 = x

he would have to pitch 15 more innings without any walks or hits to reach a goal of 1.3 whip score. This is not a reasonable goalhave u ever seen a baseball game where a pitcher pitched 15 innings without any walks or hits ? And since a game consists of 9 inningshe would be 3 innings short of 2 games (thats if they dont go into overtime), and he would have to pitch a no hitterand that is highly unlikely.
