Answer 1

Answer:

103

Step-by-step explanation:

FOR AVERAGE

SUM OF ALL/ TOTAL NUMBER SO

38+43+19+57+x =52

the 5th inning,

now

157 +x = 52×5

157+x = 260

x = 260 - 157

=103

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 5th inning considered to be 'x'.

$\frac{x + 38 + 43 + 19 + 57}{5} = 52$

$x + 157 = 52 \times 5$

$x + 157 = 260 \\ x = 260 - 157$

$x = 103$

Therefore, score of 5th inning is 103.
