Out of 18 times at bat, Jen got a hit 5/6 of the time and Kasa got a hit 8/9 of the time.
1) Who got more hits?
2) How many more?
(5/6) * 18 = ?
(8/9) * 18 = ?
To determine who got more hits, we need to compare the number of hits Jen and Kasa got.
Let's start by finding how many hits Jen got. We know that Jen got a hit 5/6 of the time out of 18 at-bats. To calculate the number of hits Jen got, we'll multiply the hit rate by the number of times at bat:
Hits by Jen = (5/6) * 18
Next, we'll find how many hits Kasa got. We're given that Kasa got a hit 8/9 of the time out of 18 at-bats. Again, we'll multiply the hit rate by the number of times at bat to calculate the number of hits Kasa got:
Hits by Kasa = (8/9) * 18
Now we can compare the number of hits by Jen and Kasa to find out who got more hits.
If Hits by Jen > Hits by Kasa, then Jen got more hits.
If Hits by Jen < Hits by Kasa, then Kasa got more hits.
If Hits by Jen = Hits by Kasa, then they got an equal number of hits.
To find out how many more hits one player got than the other, we can subtract the number of hits Jen got from the number of hits Kasa got (or vice versa):
Difference in hits = |Hits by Jen - Hits by Kasa|
So, to answer your questions:
1) Compare the number of hits by Jen and Kasa to determine who got more hits.
2) Calculate the difference in hits to find out how many more hits one player got than the other.
