Question

A baseball player went up to bat 250 times in a season. He hit the ball 100 times. Find the rate of balls hit to times at bat. Express as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

he hit the ball 40% of the time 4/10 2/5

Answer 2

Answer: The required rate of balls hit to times at bat as a simplified fraction is
`(2)/(5).`

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a baseball player went up to bat 250 times in a season and hit the ball 100 times.

We are to find the rate of balls hit to times at bat.

Given that

number of times the baseball player went up to bat = 250

and

the number of times he hit the ball in a season = 100.

Therefore, the the rate of balls hit to times at bat is given by

`(100)/(250)=(10)/(25)=(2)/(5).`

Thus, the required rate of balls hit to times at bat as a simplified fraction is
`(2)/(5).`
