Answer 1

• Raul has greatest batting average.
• Jaden has least batting average.

Explanation:

Convert all the batting averages to a single unit so that comparison is easier.

Use percentages.

Jaden batting average:

= 0.214 = 214/1,000 = 21.4%

Raul = 24.3%

Abraham:

= 2 / 9 * 100%

= 22.2%

Mark = 22%

Raul has the greatest batting average.

Jaden has the least batting average.
