Question 387557: I really need HELP! Week 4 Application Assignment Answer the following questions. In 2004 Major League Baseball, Barry Bonds, playing for the San Francisco Giants of the National League, collected 44 hits in 117 at-bats in his first 49 games. The ratio of number of hits to number of at-bats, rounded to the nearest thousandth, is a player�s batting average. What was Bond�s batting average in his first 49 games? Set the ratio hits to at-bats and convert to a decimal. Based on the ratio of number of hits to number of games, how many hits would he get in a 162-game season? Set a proportion and solve for the unknown. Based on the ratio of number of hits to number of at-bats and assuming he bats 400 times in 2004, how many hits would he get?

he got 44 hits in 117 at bats in 49 games.

ratio of hits to at bats is equal to 44/117

44/117 = .376068376.

rounded to the nearest thousandth that equals .376

ratio of hits to games is equal to 44/49.

44/49 = .897959184

based on the ratio of hits to games, he will get .897959184 * 162 = 145.4693878 hits in a 162 game season.

based on the ratio of hits to at bats, he will get .376068376 * 400 = 150.4273504 hits in 400 at bats.

these round to 145 hits in a 162 game season and 150 hits in 400 at bats.
