Final answer:

Raphael will have 150 hits in 210 at bats if he continues the pattern of 5 hits in 7 at bats.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hits Raphael will have in 210 at bats, we can set up a proportion comparing his hits to his at bats. Since we know he had 5 hits in 7 at bats, we can set up the proportion as:

5/7 = x/210

To solve for x, we cross multiply:

7x = 5 * 210

Simplifying the equation, we have:

7x = 1050

Dividing both sides by 7, we find that x = 150.
