Question

2. You can use the formula a = ñ to find the batting average a of a batter who has

h hits in n times at bat. If a batter has a batting average of 265 and has been at bat
200 times, how many hits does the batter have?

Answer 1

hits = 754

Explanation:

If a batter has a batting average of 265 and has been at bat

200 times

batting average = 0.265

number of bat times = 200

aver = bat / h

0.265 = 200 / h

0.265 h = 200

h = 200 / 0.265

h ≅ 754.72

Answer 2

the batter have hits 754

Explanation:

given:

If a batter has a batting average of 265 and has been at bat

200 times

find:

how many hits does the batter have?

batting average = 265 / 100 = 0.265

number of bat times = 200

let hits = h

aver = bat times

no. of hits

0.265 = 200 bat times

h

cross multiply:

0.265 h = 200

h = 200 / 0.265

h ≅ 754.72

therefore,

the batter have hits 754
