Question

Out of 45 times at bat, Raul got 19 hits. Find Raul's batting average as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth

Answer 1

While batting, Rahul got 19 hits out of 45 times while batting.

Now, we need to find the Rahul's batting average as a decimal.

To find the average we need to divide the number of times he got hit with his bat by the number of times he was batting.

So the average is:

$\frac{19}{45} =0.42222$

We were supposed to round the batting average to the nearest thousand.

Rounding the number 0.42222 to the nearest thousand we get:

0.422.

So the batting average of Rahul is 0.422.
