Answer 1

Answer:

$\text{Courtney's batting average}=0.25$

$\text{Katie's batting average}=0.300$

$\text{Sara's batting average}=0.325$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Courtney had 15 hits in 60 at bats.

We know that batting average can be determined by dividing hits by number of at-bats.

$\text{Courtney's batting average}=\frac{15}{60}$

$\text{Courtney's batting average}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\text{Courtney's batting average}=0.25$

Therefore, Courtney's batting average is 0.25.

We are already told that Katie's average was 0.300. Therefore, Katie's batting average is 0.300.

We have been given that Sara got a hit 32.5% of the time. To find Sara's batting average, we need to convert 32.5% into decimal as:

$32.5\%=\frac{32.5}{100}=0.325$

Therefore, Sara's batting average is 0.325.
