Question

((I'm confused..?))

A baseball player was at bat 368 times in one season, and had a batting average of 0.304. The batting average formula is , where a is the batting average, h is the number of hits, and n is the number of times at bat. Use the formula to find the number of hits the baseball player made.


131 hits


118 hits


130 hits


112 hits

Answer 1

`a=(h)/(n)\\\\a=0.304,\ n=368\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\(h)/(368)=0.304\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 368}\\\\h=111.872\approx112\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{112\ hits}`

Answer 2

a = average
h = number of hits
n = number of times at bat

a = h / n
0.304 = h / 368
368 * 0.304 = h
111.87 = h

The number of hits the baseball player made is 112.
