A baseball player was that bat 473 times during a regular season. if he made a hit 31. 5 % of the time he was at bat how many hits did he make during the regular season? round to the nearest whole number if necessary
Well, to calculate that, you have to multiply the number of bats by the "number" version of 31.5 %, which once you multiply them together, it comes out to be about 149 (148.995)
Answer: He made 149 hits during the regular season.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A baseball player was that bat 473 times during a regular season.
If the made a hit 31. 5 % of the time .
We can rewrite 31.5% as 0.315. [ To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100.]
Now, the number of hits he made during the regular season will be :-
\(0.315\times473=148.995\approx149\) [Rounded to nearest whole number]
Hence, He made 149 hits during the regular season.
