You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"1 hit after three times at bat" means that the fraction that represents his hits is 1%2F3. Now divide using long division or a calculator to get 0.3333 (the '3's repeat) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage 33.33%


So his hit percentage is roughly 33.33%
