Question

5. BASEBALL Brandon ended the season with 30 hits out of 93 at bats. Mario ended the season with 20 hits in 62 at bats. Which player has a higher batting average, at bats ? hits

Answer 1

Brandon and Mario have the same batting average.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the number of hits per bats for Brandon and for Mario.

So, the number of hits per bats for Brandon is:

`\frac{30\text{ hits}}{93\text{ bats}}=0.323`

At the same way, the number of hits per bats for Mario is:

`\frac{20\text{ hits}}{62\text{ bats}}=0.323`

Therefore, the number of hits per bats is equal for both players. It means that they have the same batting average.
