Question

use the formula a=h/n to find the batting average a of a batter who has h hits in n times at bat.Solve the formula for h. if a batter has a batting average of .290 and has at bat 300 times, how many hits does the batter have?,

Answer 1

Part 1: Solving for h:
The formula given is:
a = $\frac{h}{n}$

To solve for h, we need to isolate the h on one side of the equation.
This can be done as follows:
a = $\frac{h}{n}$

Multiply both sides by n:
an = $\frac{h}{n}$ * n
h = a*n

Part 2: getting the value of h:
We are given that:
The average (a) = 0.290
n = 300 times

Substitute with the givens in the equation we got in part (1) to get the value of h as follows:
h = a * n
h = 0.290 * 300
h = 87 hits

Hope this helps :)
