use the formula a=h/n to find the batting average a of a batter who has h hits in n times at bat.Solve the formula for h. if a batter has a batting average of .290 and has at bat 300 times, how many hits does the batter have?,
Part 1: Solving for h: The formula given is: a = [tex] \frac{h}{n} [/tex] To solve for h, we need to isolate the h on one side of the equation. This can be done as follows: a = [tex] \frac{h}{n} [/tex] Multiply both sides by n: an = [tex] \frac{h}{n} [/tex] * n h = a*n
Part 2: getting the value of h: We are given that: The average (a) = 0.290 n = 300 times
Substitute with the givens in the equation we got in part (1) to get the value of h as follows: h = a * n h = 0.290 * 300 h = 87 hits
