Question

A baseball player on a professional baseball team has 207 hits in 575 at-bats. What

is the ratio of hits to at-bats? Choose the correct answer in the most simplified
form:

Answer 1

9/25

Explanation:

find a number that both the top and bottom are divisible by,

23 is the greatest common division we can make such that the top and bottom remain whole numbers

so,

`(207 )/(575)` ÷23

=(207/23)÷(575/23)

=
`(9)/(25)`
