Areporter determines a baseball player's batting average, which is a ratio of number of hits to the number of times at bats. the result shown on a calculator as 0. how many hits would the player be expected to get in 200 at bats? explain

x:200

x/200 = .2121212121...

200(x/200) = 200(.2121212121...)

x = 42.4242...

A player would be expected to get 42 hits in 200 at bats

Hence, the number of hits a player would expect to get  in 200 at bats is:

                                        42

It is given that:

The ratio of:

Number of hits to the number of times at bats is: 0.212121..

Now we are asked to find the number of hits made if the player gets 200 at bats

Let the number of hits be : x

Now, we know that the ratio given will be equal to the ratio from this given value.

i.e.

which is approximately equal to 42.

20
