Ray's son, Martin, plays for the mnor league baseball team, The Cow-A-Bungas. He is the star player, and outfielder with a batting average of 0.340. (Batting average is the ratio of the number of times a player gets a hit to the number of times at bat.) If Martin was at bat 570 times during the season, how many hits did he get? Remember that batting average is based on the number of hits out of 1000.

Question

Ray's son, Martin, plays for the mnor league baseball team, The Cow-A-Bungas. He is the star player, and outfielder with a batting average of 0.340. (Batting average is the ratio of the number of times a player gets a hit to the number of times at bat.) If Martin was at bat 570 times during the season, how many hits did he get? Remember that batting average is based on the number of hits out of 1000.

Use a proportion to solve the problem.

Answer 1

.340 * 570 = 194

note 194/570 = .3403508772
which is as close as you will get to 340/1000

Answer 2

thank you!

:D

Answer 3

To solve this problem using a proportion, we can set up the following equation:

(0.340) / (1000) = X / (570)

We need to find the value of X, which represents the number of hits Martin got during the season.

To solve for X, we can cross multiply and then divide:

(0.340) * (570) = X * (1000)

193.8 = 1000X

Dividing both sides of the equation by 1000:

193.8 / 1000 = X

X = 0.1938

Therefore, Martin had approximately 0.1938 * 1000 = 193.8 hits during the season.

So, Martin had approximately 194 hits during the season.
