If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he maintains the same rate of homeruns per season as he did in 1987 the number of home runs he'll hit over the next three seasons is the rate from 1987 multiplied by 3. We have:

number of home runs = 3*rate

number of home runs = 3*60

number of home runs = 180

If he maintains the same rate he'll hit 180 home runs over the next three seasons.
