Question 290742
A softball players batting average is the ration of hits made to the number of times at bat. If Sylvia's batting average is 0.40 how many hits did she get in 25 times at bat?
.
"batting average" = "hits"/"times at bat"
.
Let h = number of hits by Sylvia
then
0.40 = h/25
0.40(25) = h
10 = h 
Sylvia had 10 hits
