Question

In softball, Marissa hits the ball 40% of the time when she is up to bat. Based on this information, how many times will Marissa hit the ball if she goes to bat 30 times?

Answer 1

Marissa hit the ball 12 times if she goes to bat 30 times.

Explanation:

Given that:

Marissa hits the ball 40% of the time when she is up to bat.

Marissa gets to bat for 30 times.

Balls hit by Marissa = 40% of the times Marissa goes to bat

Balls hit by Marissa =
`(40)/(100)*30`

Balls hit by Marissa = 0.4 * 30

Balls hit by Marissa = 12

Hence,

Marissa hit the ball 12 times if she goes to bat 30 times.
