Question

In his first 12 at bats during the baseball season, Jose had 4 hits. He maintained this hit rate throughout the entire season. Part A: Jose had 384 at bats throughout the season. Write a proportion that represents the relationship between Jose's at bats and hits (h). Part B: How many hits did Jose have during the entire season?

Answer 1

A.

The relationship is:

`(4)/(12)=(1)/(3)`

therefore, the 3 times Jose will bat, 1 is a hit

B.

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)=(x)/(384) \\ x=(384)/(3) \\ x=128 \end{gathered}`

therefore, Jose had a total of 128 hits
