Question

a baseball player's batting average is .300 at that rate, how many times at bat would the player need to get 120 hits?

Answer 1

.300 is the same as .3 which is 3/10
so this batter gets 3 hits for every 10 at bats
3 120
--- = ---
10 x

3 times what is 120 (answer 40) SO
10 times 40 = x
400 = x

400 times at bat
