Q: For example: Kershaw walks none and gives up one hit over 7 innings, 1/7 = 0.143 WHIP. If that hit was a home run, his ERA would be 1.28. But it if was just a hit, his ERA would be 0.00 which doesn't fully dictate what happened. To better show the difference, say he scatters 3 walks and 4 hits, but no runs. His ERA is still 0.00, but now his whip has jumped to 1.00. You can take that two ways, either he gets out of trouble, or he's gotten lucky to avoid giving up runs.
A: Add walks and hits given up by the pitcher in his outing. Divide the above total by the total number of innings pitched.

Q: This means reading books and articles on a variety of topics. By reading a lot and about different topics, themes, and ideas, you’re going to start learning a whole new set of vocabulary words. Your new words will also start to pop up in other places, including vocabulary tests!  Read works written more than 50 years ago. These will include older words less in use now. Standardized tests such as the SAT and GRE love testing students on archaic vocabulary. Check out some academic works in fields that interest you. Each academic field tends to have some specialized vocabulary. Find books written in other countries that share your language. For example, British and American English have slightly different vocabularies and usage – you can learn great new words by reading books by Americans if you’re British, or vice versa. When we see a new word for the first time, the first impulse most of us have is to try and learn what it means from the context. Sometimes you can get an almost complete sense of the word’s meaning just from the context. At other times, however, it’s obvious that it’s a specialized word, and you’ll need to look it up. But keep honing those context skills – they will stand you in good stead during a vocabulary test! When you learn a new word, write it down, along with a definition. Keep it on your phone, on your computer, in a notebook – wherever is going to be the most convenient for you to make a note of the new word. Even though this might sound counterintuitive, learning or knowing another language can be very helpful when it comes to vocabulary. Since many English words have roots in other languages, if you know another language sometimes it can help you piece together a meaning. For example, many words have Greek or Latin roots. Learning either of these languages (or just learning the important roots) can help immensely in both spelling and understanding words with which you aren’t familiar.
A: Read widely. Learn from context. Keep track of new words. Learn another language.

Q: You don’t want to end friendships with unhealthy eaters, but research shows that people who spend time with healthy eaters, adopt those habits. So try to make plans with people who already have the habits that you want to possess yourself! Exercise increases your appetite, but this doesn’t mean that you'll overeat. On the contrary, setting the intention to exercise 3-5 times a week will build your self-control and commitment to good health. Staying rested will enable you to control impulsive eating. Research has shown that getting 8 hours of sleep dramatically decreases impulsive snacking and overeating.
A: Spend time with other people who eat healthy food. Exercise regularly to stay in a healthy mindset. Make sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.

Q: Look at the new belt in comparison to the old one to be sure they are the same width and have the same number of ribs going across the belt horizontally.  The old belt may be slightly longer than the new one due to stretching.  If the new belt is not the same width as the old one, it is the wrong belt. Make sure the new belt doesn't show any signs of damage from the factory or it may tear after you install it. Run the new belt through the pulleys in exactly the same way the old one was.  Refer to the belt diagram in your vehicle's owner's manual or the picture you took of the belt before removing it to guide you.  The belt should be long enough to route around all of the pulleys except the tensioner until you relieve the pressure on it. If the belt is loose after routing it, it is either the wrong size belt or you've routed it incorrectly. Use the same wrench to loosen the auto tensioner pulley, then pull the belt over it.  Once the belt is in place, release the pressure on the tensioner so it holds the belt in place. It may be difficult to apply pressure to the tensioner and route the belt, so you may want to ask a friend to help. If your vehicle does not have an auto tensioner, insert a pry bar or piece of wood between the alternator and the engine.  Run the belt over the alternator pulley, then use the bar to pry the alternator away from the engine and increase the tension on the belt.  Tighten the bolts again as you apply tension.  You may need help tightening the bolts as you apply pressure to the alternator. Be careful not to pry against anything plastic in your engine bay to avoid breaking anything.
A:
Compare the new belt to the old one. Route the belt through the pulleys. Apply pressure on the auto tensioner and put the belt over it. Increase the tension on the belt.
