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 simplified fraction.

Answer 1

The rate of balls hit to times at bat is 3/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of balls hit to times at bat can be found by dividing the number of balls hit by the number of times at bat. In this case, the baseball player hit the ball 150 times out of 500 times at bat. Therefore, the rate is:

150/500

Which can be simplified to:

3/10

Answer 2

A new expression can be 5 to 1.5. I can see this because when you divide 500 by 100 it is 5 and when you divide 150 by 100 it is 1.5.
