Answer 1

EXPLANATION:

Given;

We are told that a baseball player got 69 hits out of 100 at-bats.

Required;

We are required to calculate the:

(1) Fraction

(2) Percentage

Of times that the player did not get a hit.

Step-by-step solution;

To solve this math problem, we would have to determine how many times out of a hundred that the player DID NOT get a hit.

This is shown below;

$\begin{gathered} Total=100 \\ Hits=69 \\ Missed=31 \end{gathered}$

The number of misses as a fraction would be;

$Fraction=\frac{misses}{total}$$Fraction=\frac{31}{100}$$Percentage=\frac{31}{100}\times\frac{100}{1}$$Percentage=31\%$

Therefore;

ANSWER:

$\begin{gathered} (A) \\ \frac{31}{100} \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} (C) \\ 31\% \end{gathered}$
