in baseball, shintaro had 4 hits in his last 12 times at bat.

what is the probability that he will get a hit in his next at bat?

The probability of shintaro is 4/12 simplified which is 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It's like saying.. Someone had won 4 races every 12 race

You divide both side of 4/12 till you can't divide anymore

4/12

3/9

2/6

1/3

First, to make this a bit easier, we can turn the fractions into decimals.

1/2 = 0.5 , 3 1/2 = 3.5

Divide 3.5 by 0.5.

3.5 ÷ 0.5 = 7
