The player will get 10 hits for 15 times strikes out.

The player will strike out 69 times for 46 hits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of strike out to hits = 3:2

Condition 1: If the player gets 15 strikes out;

Let,

x be the hits for 15 times strikes out.

Using proportion;

Strike out : hit :: strike out : hit

$3:2::15:x$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$15*2=3*x\\3x=30$

Dividing both sides by 3;

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\x=10$

The player will get 10 hits for 15 times strikes out.

Condition 2: if the player gets 46 hits

Let,

y be the strikes out.

Using proportion,

Strike out : hit :: strike out : hit

$3:2::y:46$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$2*y=46*3\\2y=138$

Dividing both sides by 2;

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{138}{2}\\y=69$

The player will strike out 69 times for 46 hits.
