Answer:

Number of times she will hit the ball the next time she plays softball if she is at bat 20 times = 9 times

Explanation:

Percentage of times Sierra hit the ball when she was at bat playing softball= 45%

So, we can find:

Number of times she will hit the ball the next time she plays softball if she is at bat 20 times =
\textrm{45\% of 20 times} =0.45* 20=9\ times
