Question

A baseball player went up to bat 500 times in a season. He hit the ball 150 times. Find the rate of balls hit to times at bat. Express as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

A new expression can be 5 to 1.5. I can see this because when you divide 500 by 100 it is 5 and when you divide 150 by 100 it is 1.5.
