Question

A baseball player had $4$ hits in $8$ games.

At this rate, how many hits will the baseball player have in the next $28$ games?

Answer 1

Step-1: Find number of hits in $1$game:

Let, $x$ be the number of hits in $1$ game.

It is given that, number of hits in $8$ games is $4.$

Number of hits in $1$game is as follow:

$$\begin{gathered} 8\times x=4 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{4}{8} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$$

Step-2: Find number of hits in next $28$ games.

As, number of hits in $1$game is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Thus, Number of hits in next $28$ games is as follow is $28\times \frac{1}{2}=14$

Hence, the baseball player have $14$ hits in next $28$ games.
