Answer:

90 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan averages 18 hits for every 45 times at bat

Average = 18/45

Let the number of bats when she makes 36 hits be x

Average = 36/x

Since she maintains the same average

18/45 = 36/x

Cross multiply

18x = 36(45)

18x = 1620

x = 1620/18

x = 90

She will need 90 bats in order to get 36 hits
