overs?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total $125$ runs would be scored in $47.5$ overs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A famous batsman scored a century in $38$ overs.

To Find: Total runs scored in $47.5$ overs.

Solution:

   $1$ over $=6$ balls

$38$ overs $= \;?$ balls

Therefore, total balls taken for century $=\frac{38\times6}{1}$

                                                                 $=228$ balls.

From the question, batsman scored a century. That means Run scored $=100$.

Therefore,

$Run\;Rate=\frac{Runs\; Scored}{Overs}$

                $=\frac{100}{38}$

                $=2.63$

Now, in $47.5$ overs, assume that the runs scored should be $x.$

So, by using run rate formula, total runs scored will be

$Run\;Rate=\frac{Runs\; Scored}{Overs}$

         $2.63=\frac{x}{47.5}$

             $x=2.63\times47.5$

             $x=124.92$

                $=125$ runs

Hence, total $125$ runs would be scored in $47.5$ overs.
