Question

A player on a school baseball team reaches first base 3 10 of the time he is at bat. Out of 50 times at bat, how many times would you predict he will reach first base?

Answer 1

15 times

Explanation:

Proportion of times first base is reached = 3 / 10

If Number of times at bat = 50

Number of times first base is reached :

Proportion * Number of times at bats

3/ 10 * 50

(3 * 50) / 10

(150 / 10)

= 15 times
