In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.
Step 01:
data:
baseball player:
number of a bats = 200
ratio (number of hits/number of at bats):
0.2121....
Step 02:
ratio:
[tex]number\text{ of hits = 0.2121 }\frac{number\text{ of hits}}{number\text{ of at bats}}\text{ * 200 number of at bats}[/tex]
[tex]number\text{ of hits = 42.42 number of hits}[/tex]
The answer is:
number of hits = 42
