Well, to calculate that, you have to multiply the number of bats by the "number" version of 31.5 %, which once you multiply them together, it comes out to be about 149 (148.995)

Answer: He made 149 hits during the regular season.

Explanation:

Given : A baseball player was that bat 473 times during a regular season.

If the made a hit 31. 5 % of the time .

We can rewrite 31.5% as 0.315. [ To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100.]

Now, the number of hits he made during the regular season will be :-


0.315*473=148.995\approx149 [Rounded to nearest whole number]

Hence, He made 149 hits during the regular season.
