A baseball player got 102 hits in the last 300 times at bat. Explain how you would find the percent of times the baseball player got a hit out of the number of times at bat.
To find the percentage of times the baseball player got a hit out of the number of times at bat, we can use the following formula:
Percentage = (Hits / Total at bats) * 100
In this case, the baseball player got 102 hits out of 300 times at bat.
So, we substitute these values into the formula:
Percentage = (102 / 300) * 100
Simplifying, we have:
Percentage = 0.34 * 100
Therefore, the baseball player got a hit around 34% of the time out of the number of times at bat.
A baseball team played 75 games and lost 20% of them. How many games did the team lose?
15
20
55
60
To find the number of games the team lost, we need to calculate 20% of 75.
To calculate 20% of a number, we multiply the number by 0.2.
So, 20% of 75 is:
(0.2) * 75 = 15
Therefore, the team lost 15 games.
A student solved the problem below by first dividing 20 by 10. What mistake did the student make?
A baseball team has won 20 games and lost 10 games. What percent of the games did the team win?
The student made a mistake by dividing 20 by 10.
To find the percent of games the team won, we need to divide the number of games won by the total number of games played (which is the sum of games won and games lost) and then multiply by 100.
So, in this case, we would divide 20 (games won) by the sum of 20 (games won) and 10 (games lost):
Percentage = (20 / (20 + 10)) * 100
Percentage = (20 / 30) * 100
Simplifying, we have:
Percentage = 0.67 * 100
Therefore, the team won 66.7% of the games.
The student mistakenly divided 20 by 10, which would result in 2. This is incorrect as it does not give the correct percentage.
A baseball team won 20 games and lost 10 games. What percent of the games did the team win?
33One-third%
50%
66Two-thirds%
200%
To find the percentage of games the team won, we divide the number of games won by the total number of games played, and then multiply by 100.
In this case, the team won 20 games and lost 10 games.
Total games played = 20 (wins) + 10 (losses) = 30 games
Percentage of games won = (20 / 30) * 100 = 66.67%
Therefore, the team won 66.67% of the games. This is closest to the option "66Two-thirds%".
A 2-column table with 5 rows titled Games Played. Column 1 has entries a percent, a percent, a percent, a percent, b percent. Column 2 has entries c, c, c, c, d.
So far this season, a team has won 51 out of 68 games. Identify the values of a, b, c, and d that complete the bar diagram for this situation.
a =
b =
c =
d =
Based on the information given, we know that the team won 51 out of 68 games.
a: The value of "a" represents the percentage of games won. To find this percentage, we divide the number of games won by the total number of games played and then multiply by 100.
a = (51 / 68) * 100 = 75%
b: The value of "b" represents the percentage of games not won, which is equal to 100% minus the percentage of games won.
b = 100% - a = 100% - 75% = 25%
c: The value of "c" represents a constant entry in column 2. The problem states that all entries in column 2 are "c", so we can determine that c = c = c = c = c.
d: The value of "d" is not provided in the problem statement, so we cannot determine its value based on the information given.
