Areporter determines a baseball player's batting average, which is a ratio of number of hits to the number of times at bats. the result shown on a calculator as 0. how many hits would the player be expected to get in 200 at bats? explain

x:200

x/200 = .2121212121...

200(x/200) = 200(.2121212121...)

x = 42.4242...

A player would be expected to get 42 hits in 200 at bats

Hence, the number of hits a player would expect to get  in 200 at bats is:

                                        42

It is given that:

The ratio of:

Number of hits to the number of times at bats is: 0.212121..

Now we are asked to find the number of hits made if the player gets 200 at bats

Let the number of hits be : x

Now, we know that the ratio given will be equal to the ratio from this given value.

i.e.

which is approximately equal to 42.

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
