Question

the kicking cacti and the sprinting stingrays met in their towns annual kickball championship this year. they were so evenly matched that the game lasted 11 innings! the stingrays had 3 pitchers, and each of them pitched for the same number of innings. how long did each of the pitchers for the stingrays pitch? write your answer as a proper fraction or mixed number.
innings

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and number of pitchers

Total innings = 11, Number of pitchers = 3.

Step2: Divide total innings by number of pitchers

To find innings per pitcher, calculate $\frac{11}{3}$.

Step3: Convert to mixed number (optional, but as a proper fraction or mixed number)

$\frac{11}{3} = 3\frac{2}{3}$ (since 11 ÷ 3 = 3 with remainder 2).

Answer:

$3\frac{2}{3}$ (or $\frac{11}{3}$)
