Question

Neil got a hit 9 of the 11 times he batted in the CDNIS softball tournament. Maggie got a hit 18 of the 22 times she batted in the tournament. Did they have the same batting records?

Answer 1

YES

Explanation:

If 18/22 is expressed in simplest terms. that is if both the numerator and denominator is divided by 2. It gives 9/11

We can determine if they are the same by multiplying both fractions by 100

9/11 x 100 = 81.8

18/22 x 100 = 81,8

they yield the same number, thus the records are the same
