Question

bill can hit a bucket of 323 golf balls in 17 hours. how many golf balls can bill hit in 23 hours? \boxed{} golf balls

Explanation:

Step1: Find the rate per hour

To find how many golf balls Bill hits per hour, we divide the total number of golf balls by the total number of hours. So, the rate \( r \) is \( r=\frac{323}{17} \). Calculating that, \( 323\div17 = 19 \) golf balls per hour.

Step2: Calculate for 23 hours

Now that we know the rate is 19 golf balls per hour, to find how many he hits in 23 hours, we multiply the rate by the number of hours. So, the number of golf balls \( n=19\times23 \). Calculating \( 19\times23 = 437 \).

Answer:

437
