Question

Karen batting average was 0.444 She was at bat 45 times.how many hits did she get?

Answer 1

Karen got an average of 0.444 hits out of 45 bats.
We need to find the number of hits did Karen got.
=> 45 bats all in all
=> 0.444 average hits
x = how many hit did she get
Now, let’s multiply the total bats to Karen’s average hit:
=> 45 x 0.444 …. (repeating decimals)
=> 20
Therefore, Karen hit 20 times out of 45 bats
Let’s check our answer:
=> 20 / 45
=> 0.44444…. (repeating decimals)

Answer 2

we know that

Karen batting average was
`0.444`

`0.444` is equal to
`(44.4)/(100) =44.4\%`

so

by proportion

`(44.4)/(100) =(x)/(45) \\\\ 100*x= 45*44.4\\\\ x=(45*44.4)/(100)`

`x=19.98\ hits`

therefore

the answer is

`20\ hits`
