Re: Maths ???
Hi Amber;
To have an average of 40 in 5 games he needs 200 runs. He has 134, so he needs 66 more runs in the next match.
You can go here, he is doing the same type of problem as you are.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
