You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the batting average is found by dividing the number of hits by the number of times a batter was at bat
and in this case we will find how many hits will he get in 400 times at bat using proportion
216%3A81=400%3Ax
216x=400%2A81
216x=32400
x=32400%2F216
x=150
so, he will he get x=150 hits in 400 times at bat
