Answer 1

32% of the times at-bat.

Explanation:

Since in Game 1, Emerson struck out 30 times in 90 times at bat; in Game 2, he struck out 40 times in 120 times at bat; and in Game 3, Emerson struck out 42 times in 140 times at bat; To determine what percentage of times at bat did Emerson actually hit the ball, the following calculation must be performed:

`((30+40+42))/((90+120+140))=x`

`(112)/(350) =x`

`0.32=x`

Therefore he actually hit the ball 32% of the time.
