Question

In one season, the top four players on one major league team had batting averages of 0.332, 0.361, 0.343, and 0.368. Which is the highest average?

Answer 1

the highest average is 0.368

Answer 2

0.368 is the highest average.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the batting averages of the 4 top players on one major league team as 0.332, 0.361, 0.343, and 0.368. We are asked to choose the highest average from given choices.

Let us represent our given averages as fractions as:

`(332)/(1000),(361)/(1000),(343)/(1000),(368)/(1000)`.

Now we can see that 1st player hit 332 in 1000 at bats, 2nd player hit 361 in 1000 at bats, 3rd player hit 343 in 1000 at bats and 4th player hit 368 in 1000 at bats.

Clearly, 368 is the greatest number of our given choices, therefore, the highest average is 0.368.
