Question

Dylan hit the ball 48 out of the 60 times he was up to bat. The rest of the time, he snuck out. Approximately what percent did dylan strike out?

Answer 1

20 percent

Explanation:

(I had such a good explanation and accidentally refreshed the page)

So basics

48/60 is in

12/60 is out

Now we focus on out

we know this 12/60 becuase 48 is in and there are 60 tries so 60-48=12

So now 12/60 into a percent

A percent is basically x/100

So we gotta make 12/60 into a fraction with a denominator of 100

SO simplify fto make it easier (try to get it to 4,2,5,10,50,25 anything that goes into 100)

1/5

1/5 is 20 percent

thats a benchmark

But if you don’t know

You can always do a pro proton

1/5=x/100

Cross multiply

100=5x

x=20
