Question

A baseball player's batting average is found by dividing the number of hits by the number of at-bats and rounding the result to the nearest thousandth. If James had 55 hits and 138 at bats, what was his batting average?

Answer 1

The answer is 0.399.

Explanation:

The formula would be hits/at-bats. Hits = 55, and at-bats = 138. Rounded to the nearest thousandth, 55/138 is 0.399.
