: can you please help me solve and check this problem: (((In baseball a player's batting average is the tatio of hits to the number of times he or she has batted. Thus, if the player has an average of .300, it means he or she got 300 hits in 1000 at bats. In order to have an average of .300, how many hits would the batter have to get in 400 times at bat?)))

ratio of hits to batting=hits/batting

ratio(the average)=.300
batting=400 times

hits/batting=average
hits/400=.300

Multiply both sides by 400
hits=120

Answer: 120 hits
