Question

Paolo keeps track of his favorite baseball player's batting average, and notices the average is 0.4727272.... If his player has 55 at bats, what is the number of hits?

Answer 1

No of hits = 26

Explanation:

Given that,

Batting average = 0.4727272

His player has 55 at bats.

We need to find the number of hits. Let the number of hits be x. Using formula for average as :

`(x)/(55)=0.4727272\\\\x=0.4727272* 55\\\\x=25.99\\\\or\\\\x=26`

So, there are 26 number of hits.
