Answer

This means Pedro got \(\boxed{1474}\) hits and Ricky got \(\boxed{1195}\) hits.

Steps

Step 1 ：Let's denote the number of hits Pedro got as P and the number of hits Ricky got as R.

Step 2 ：From the problem, we know that P + R = 2669, which represents the total number of hits they got together.

Step 3 ：We also know that P = R + 279, which means Pedro had 279 more hits than Ricky.

Step 4 ：We can solve this system of equations to find the values of P and R.

Step 5 ：Solving the system of equations gives us P = 1474 and R = 1195.

Step 6 ：This means Pedro got \(\boxed{1474}\) hits and Ricky got \(\boxed{1195}\) hits.
