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 ratio.

Answer 1

To find the answer, we just divide

`(150)/(500)=0.30`

As ratio would be

`(150)/(500)=(15)/(50)=(3)/(10)`

Hence, his rate is 3/10, three hits every 10 attempts.
