Answer:  20

==========================================

Short Explanation:

Multiply the two numbers to get 0.244*82 = 20.008 which rounds to 20

This is the expected or estimated number of hits.

-------------

Longer Explanation:

The reason why this works is based on how the batting average formula is set up. Ignoring things like singles, doubles, triples, homeruns, and just focusing on hits, we have

batting average = (number of hits)/(number of at bats)

the term "at bat" in baseball means "attempts"

So if you hit 10 times out of 20 attempts, then your batting average is 10/20 = 0.500 which means you hit half the time

For something like 0.244, this means 244/1000 and you hit 244 times out of 1000 attempts.

When we multiply the batting average with the number of at bats, then the "at bat" units will cancel leaving us with just the number of hits.

The diagram below shows how the units cancel.

From here we just multiply (244/1000) with 82 and you'll end up with 20.008 as before.

A rectangle with an area of 5/8 ft² is dilated by a factor of 8. What is the area of the dilated rectangle?
galben [10]
A dilation is basically a factor of enlargement or reduction, where you multiply the factor for the dilation. 

So,

Multiply the numerator 5 by the factor of 8. 

5*8= 40 

40/8 ft^2= 5 ft^2

The new area if 5 ft^2. 

I hope this helps!

A puppy and a kitten are 180 meters apart when they see each other. The puppy can run at a speed of 25 m/sec, while the kitten c
Lelechka [254]
Make two equations representing the position of each animal, p and k, for the puppy and kitten respectively.

p=25t and k=180+20t  

The puppy will catch the kitten when p=k so we can say:

25t=180+20t  subtract 20t from both sides

5t=180  divide both sides by 5

t=36

So the puppy will catch the kitten after 36 seconds.

nikitadnepr [17]
To start this, try to place it all together.

(x)+(x+2)+(x+4)=36

Then you start to combine so that it looks like this:

3x+6=36

I believe that is one of the choices. Do you need more explanation?
