Question

In one game, Rafael was up to bat 3 times and made two hits. In another game, he was up to bat 5 times with no hits. What percent of the times at bat did Rafael make a hit ?

Answer 1

well, if you add 3 at bats in the first game to 5 at bats in the second, that's a total of 8 times at bat, and if you add 2 hits in the first game to 0 in the second, that's a total of 2 hits. 2 out of 8 (2/8) is equivalent to 1 out of 4 (1/4), or 25%.

So the answer is Rafael got a hit 25% of the times he was at bat.

Answer 2

well, if you add 3 at bats in the first game to 5 at bats in the second, that's a total of 8 times at bat, and if you add 2 hits in the first game to 0 in the second, that's a total of 2 hits. 2 out of 8 (2/8) is equivalent to 1 out of 4 (1/4), or 25%. 

So the answer is Rafael got a hit 25% of the times he was at bat.
