Question

In baseball, Ken gets on base 60% of the time he bats. If Ken bats 5 times, how many times did he get on base?

Answer 1

If ken gets on base 60%, and he bats 5 times then he got on base 3 times

Answer 2

Assuming Ken gets the same percentage as usuall in these 5 times, we can calculated how many times he did get on base by calculating 60% of 5.

To do this we transform 60% into decimal my dropping the percentage sign and dividing it by 100 and then we multiply the decimal by 5:

`(60)/(100)\cdot5=0.6\cdot5=3`

So, Ken got on base 3 times.
