Answer:

[tex]\frac{9}{16}[/tex]  of the way

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete hit half as far as gina, that would be  [tex]\frac{1}{2}*\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Since gina hit 3/4 and pete hit 3/8, to find Erich, we add the two and divide by 2 (average) to get Erich's distance:

[tex]\frac{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{8}}{2}=\frac{9}{16}[/tex]

So, Erich's ball went 9/16th of the way
