Answer 1

Answer: Marlon

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Marlon}:\dfrac{hits}{bats}=\dfrac{6}{15}\quad \rightarrow\quad \dfrac{16}{40}\\\\\\\text{Adrian}:\dfrac{hits}{bats}=\dfrac{4}{10}\quad \rightarrow\quad \dfrac{16}{40}\\\\\\\text{Dustin}:\dfrac{hits}{bats}=\dfrac{3}{8}\quad \rightarrow\quad \dfrac{15}{40}$

Marlon has a higher ratio of 16/40 compared to Dustin's ratio of 15/40.
