Question

A baseball player went up to bat 500 times in a season. He hit the ball 150 times. Find the rate of balls hit to times at bat. Express as a ratio.

Answer 1

To find the answer, we just divide

$\frac{150}{500}=0.30$

As ratio would be

$\frac{150}{500}=\frac{15}{50}=\frac{3}{10}$

Hence, his rate is 3/10, three hits every 10 attempts.
