Question

Anish made 42 runs in 6 overs and Anup made 63 runs in 7 overs. Who made more runs per over?

Answer 1

Anish made in 6 overs = 42 runs

∴ Anish made in 1 overs = \(\frac{42}{6}\)

= 7 runs

Anup made in 7 overs = 63 runs 

∴ Anup made in 1 overs =\(\frac{63}{7}\)

= 9 runs

Thus, Anup made more runs per over.

Answer 2

For Anish:
\(\text{Runs per over (Anish)} = \frac{\text{Total runs by Anish}}{\text{Number of overs by Anish}}\)

\(\text{Runs per over (Anish)} = \frac{42 \text{ runs}}{6 \text{ overs}}\)

\(\text{Runs per over (Anish)} = 7 \text{ runs per over}\)

For Anup:
\(\text{Runs per over (Anup)} = \frac{\text{Total runs by Anup}}{\text{Number of overs by Anup}}\)

\(\text{Runs per over (Anup)} = \frac{63 \text{ runs}}{7 \text{ overs}}\)

\(\text{Runs per over (Anup)} = 9 \text{ runs per over}\)

So, the answer is Anup.
