Question

Duval went to bat 80 times during a baseball season. In the first half of the season he had 15 hits. In the second half of the season he had 9 hits. Which percent of the time did Duval get a hit during the entire season?

Answer 1

30 percent.
If you add 15 and 9 you get 24 so you can then put it into a fraction 24/80. Then you reduce that to 3/10 which would be 30% since 3 divided by 10 is 0.3
