Calculate Rate: Determine the rate at which Bill hits golf balls per hour. He hits 323 golf balls in 17 hours. To find the rate, divide the total number of golf balls by the total number of hours. So, 323 golf balls /17 hours =19 golf balls per hour.
Determine Total Balls: Calculate the number of golf balls Bill can hit in 23 hours. Since we know Bill hits 19 golf balls in one hour, we multiply this rate by 23 hours to find out how many golf balls he can hit in that time. So, 19 golf balls/hour ×23 hours =437 golf balls.
