Abraham, Wesley, Chirah, Jack, Kareem, Natalie, Shannon, and Becky were lucky enough to get tickets to the baseball playoff game. They could not get eight tickets together, so they sat in pairs in different sections of the ballpark. This gave each pair a different view of the game. Two sat behind home plate, two in the outfield stands, and two each near first base and third base.
Chirah and Shannon were glad their friends caught the home run ball that flew past the outfield. Wesley and Natalie got the first baseman's autograph as he walked by them. Abraham and Jack got the closest view of the batters and of the umpire calling strikes and balls. Where did each pair of baseball fans sit?
Abraham and Jack = home plate
Chirah and Shannon got near outfield stands
Wesleyu and Natalie were near first base
Kareem and Becky = 3rd base
To determine where each pair of baseball fans sat, we can follow the clues given in the question.
1. Chirah and Shannon caught the home run ball that flew past the outfield, so they were sitting in the outfield stands.
2. Wesley and Natalie got the first baseman's autograph as he walked by them, so they were sitting near first base.
3. Abraham and Jack got the closest view of the batters and the umpire calling strikes and balls, so they were sitting behind home plate.
4. This leaves Kareem and Becky to be sitting near third base, as it is the only option remaining.
Therefore, the seating arrangement is as follows:
- Abraham and Jack: Behind home plate
- Chirah and Shannon: Outfield stands
- Wesley and Natalie: Near first base
- Kareem and Becky: Near third base.
