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?
