Answer 1

$\huge{\blue{\boxed{\boxed{\red{\underline{\green{\mathscr{Answer:}}}}}}}}$

The run rate should be approximately 5.47.

⭐Step-by-step explanation ⭐:

⭐Given⭐:

Overs finished = 7 overs

Run rate after 7 overs = 4.2

Target to chase = 265 runs

⭐To Find⭐:

Run rate must needed in next 43 overs

⭐Analysis⭐:

Number of runs made in 7 overs = 4.2 × 7 = 29.4 runs

Number of runs remaining to make = 265 runs - 29.4 runs = 235.6 runs

Let the run rate required in next 43 overs to make 235.6 runs be 'x',

Equation formed:

43 × x = 235.6

x = $\frac{235.6}{43}$

x = 5.4790697674418604651162790697674

Required Run Rate = 5.47 (approximate)

Hence, the team have to play with the run rate of 5.47 in next 43 overs to make 265 runs.

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of runs made in 7 overs = 4.2 × 7 = 29.4 runs

Number of runs remaining to make = 265 runs - 29.4 runs = 235.6 runs

Let the run rate required in next 43 overs to make 235.6 runs be 'x',

Equation formed:

43 × x = 235.6

x = \frac{235.6}{43}

43

235.6

x = 5.4790697674418604651162790697674

Required Run Rate = 5.47 (approximate)

Hence, the team have to play with the run rate of 5.47 in next 43 overs to make 265 runs.
