Question: There are three times as many misses as hits in an MLB game. If the number of misses is 50, how many hits and misses are made in the game? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Three times as many misses as hits is 3 * 50 = 150. The total number of hits and misses in the game is 150 + 50 = 200. So the answer is 200.
