A reporter determines a baseball player's batting average, which is a ratio of number of hits to the number of times at bats. The result shown on a calculator as 0.2121

How many hits would the player be expected to get in 200 at bats? Explain

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Batting average = number of hits / number of time at bats

Batting average obtained = 0.2121...

If at bats of the player = 200

Hence, number of hits ;

Batting average = number of hits / number of time at bats

0.2121 = number of hits / 200

Number of hits = 0.2121 * 200

Number of hits = 42.42..

= 42 ( approx)
