Question

In a recent year, Major League Baseball player Jack Wilson's batting average was 0.308. Melvin Mora hit safety 17 out of every 50 at-bats and Bobby Abreu hit safety 30.1% of the time. Find Mora's and Abreu's batting averages and order all three averages from least to greatest.

Answer 1

Bobby Abreu (0.301) < Jack Wilson (0.308) < Melvin Mora (0.34)

Explanation:

Jack Wilson = 0.308

Melvin Mora's average = Number of hits / Total number = 17 / 50 = 0.34

Bobby Abreu = 30.1% = 30.1 / 100 = 0.301

In order of least to greatest;

After coomparing all three batters;

Bobby Abreu (0.301) < Jack Wilson (0.308) < Melvin Mora (0.34)
