Answer 1

Answer:

The answers are:

A. 141 of the batters hits were singles.

B. 25% percent of the batters hits were not singles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three fourths of the batter’s 188 hits were singles.

Now, to find:

A. Number of the batters hits were singles.

B. Percent of the batters hits were not singles.

A.

Total number of the batter's hits = 188.

So, to get the number of batters hits were singles:

$\frac{3}{4}\ of\ 188$

$=\frac{3}{4}\times 188$

$=0.75\times 188$

$=141.$

Therefore, 141 of the batters hits were singles.

B.

Now, to get the percent of batters hits were not singles:

Number of batters hits were not singles = 188 - 141 = 47.

So, to get the percent of batters hits were not singles:

$\frac{Number\ of\ batters\ hits\ were\ not\ singles}{Total\ number\ of\ the\ batter's\ hits}\times 100$

$=\frac{47}{188}\times 100$

$=0.25\times 100$

$=25\%.$

Thus, 25% of the batters hits were not singles.

Therefore, the answers are:

A. 141 of the batters hits were singles.

B. 25% percent of the batters hits were not singles.
