A baseball player went up to bat
350 times in a season. He hit the ball
100 times. Find the rate of balls hit to times at bat. Express as a simplified fraction.
To find the rate of balls hit to times at bat, we divide the number of balls hit by the number of times at bat.
Rate = balls hit / times at bat
Rate = 100 / 350
To simplify this fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 50.
Rate = (100/50) / (350/50)
Rate = 2/7
Therefore, the rate of balls hit to times at bat is 2/7.
