Respuesta :

Rate balls hit : Times at bat  =  150 : 500

= 150 / 500    Cancel out the zero

= 15/50          5 into 15 is 3, and 5 into 50 is 10.

= 3/10

The rate of balls hit to times at bat as a simplified fraction is 3/10

The given parameters are:

  • Total Bats = 500
  • Total Hits = 150

The rate of balls hit to times at bat is calculated by dividing the total hits by the total bats

So, we have:

[tex]Rate = \frac{150}{500}[/tex]

Divide the numerator and the denominator by 50

[tex]Rate = \frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Hence, the rate as a simplified fraction is 3/10
