Last year, her hitting average was approximately 75%, which means she got on base 39 times.

How many times did Alexus bat last year?

Alexus batted
times last year.

Answer 1

Alexus batted 52 times last year.

The hitting average is the ratio of the number of times a player gets on base to the number of times they bat.

If Alexus had a hitting average of 75% and got on base 39 times, we can set up the equation:

0.75x = 39

To solve for x (the number of times Alexus batted), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.75.

x = 39 / 0.75 = 52

Alexus batted 52 times last year.
