Question

Francisco Martinez is an up-and-coming baseball player in the minors. Currently, he has 30 singles, 4 doubles, 1 triple and 6 homeruns. He has currently been at-bat 130 times this season. Calculate his slugging average.

Answer 1

His slugging average is 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of singles = 30

Number of doubles = 40

Number of triple = 1

Number of home runs = 6

Number of At-bat = 130

Average = Total bases/ at bat

Total bases = singles + (2× doubles) + (3×triples) + (4×homeruns)

Total bases = 30 + (2×40) + (3×1) + (4×6)

Total bases = 30 + 80 + 3 + 24

Total bases = 137

Slugging average also known as slugging percentage:

= 137/130

Slugging average = 1.05

Therefore, his slugging average is 1.05
