Your batting average is 0.244, and you have been at bat 82 times. How many hits do u have?

Question

This problem is a one step equation that is multiplication or division. That is what we are studying in math right now. 

Answer 1

in order to solve this one you just want to multiply the values together!

hits = (# at bats) x (batting average)

hits = 82 x 0.244

hits = 20

Answer 2

n=# of hits

n/82=0.244

n=82*0.244

n=20.008=20 hits

20/82=0.2439 which rounds to 0.244
