A player has 37 hits in 192 times at bat. Write the player's batting
average as a decimal. Round to the nearest thousandth.
A. 0.192
B. 0.193
C. 0.197**** My answer
D. 0.293
Is it correct
It's B
Yes, B.
No. It's not correct.
To calculate the batting average, you divide the number of hits by the number of at-bats.
In this case, the player has 37 hits in 192 at-bats.
Dividing 37 by 192 gives you the decimal value of the batting average.
37 ÷ 192 ≈ 0.1927083
Now, rounding this value to the nearest thousandth gives us 0.193.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 0.193, not C. 0.197.
