A baseball player gets 2 hits in 9 times at bat. Estimate how many hits the player will get in the next 12 times at bat.

3 hits
5 hits
4 hits
2 hits

Answer 1

For 1 time, he gets 2/9 hits, so for 12 he would get 2/9*12.

Answer 2

\[\frac{2}{9}=\frac{x}{12}\]

Answer 3

\[x=\frac{12\times 2}{9}\]
