In their little league baseball season, Dominick had twenty-four hits in his forty times at bat. Michael had eighteen hits in his thirty times at bat. How many more hits per at bats did Dominick have?
24/40 = 3/5
18/30 = 3/5
They had the same ratio of hits to times at bat.
In their little league baseball season, Dominick had twenty-four hits in his forty times at bat. Michael had eighteen hits in his thirty times at bat. How many more hits per at bats did Dominick have?
To calculate the number of hits per at bats for each player, we need to divide the number of hits by the number of times at bat. Let's start with Dominick.
Dominick had twenty-four hits in forty times at bat. To find the hits per at bat, we divide the number of hits (24) by the number of times at bat (40):
Hits per at bat for Dominick = 24 / 40
Simplifying this fraction, we find:
Hits per at bat for Dominick = 3 / 5
Now, let's calculate the hits per at bat for Michael.
Michael had eighteen hits in thirty times at bat. To find the hits per at bat, we divide the number of hits (18) by the number of times at bat (30):
Hits per at bat for Michael = 18 / 30
Simplifying this fraction, we find:
Hits per at bat for Michael = 3 / 5
Both Dominick and Michael have the same hits per at bat (3/5 or 0.6).
Since both players have the same hits per at bat, Dominick does not have more hits per at bat than Michael.
