Answer:
Alicia is the golfer who has had the lowest number of strokes per hole
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The unit rate of the number of strokes per hole is equal to divide the number of strokes by the number of holes
Let
x ----> the number of strokes
y ----> the number of holes
we have
Roy
[tex]x=42\ strokes\\y=9\ holes[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{42}{9}=4.67\ strokes\ per\ hole[/tex]
Alicia
[tex]x=79\ strokes\\y=18\ holes[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{79}{18}=4.39\ strokes\ per\ hole[/tex]
Rickie
[tex]x=123\ strokes\\y=27\ holes[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{123}{27}=4.56\ strokes\ per\ hole[/tex]
Compare
4.39 < 4.56 < 4.67
therefore
Alicia is the golfer who has had the lowest number of strokes per hole
