Question

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

If Shintaro has 36 at bats in the next week, about how many hits will he have?

Answer 1

For this case we can propose a rule of three according to the Shontaro base performance.

4 hits ------------> 12 times at bat

x -------------------> 36 times at bat

Where "x" represents the number of hits he will have the following week, based on his previous performance.

`x = \frac {36 * 4} {12}\\x = 12`

So, Shintaro will have 12 hits in 36 times at bat

Answer:

Shintaro will have 12 hits in 36 times at bat
