The rate at which she bats is an illustration of ratio and proportions
She's expected to bat 574 times in 162 games
In 131 games, she bat 464 times
Represent this as a ratio
[tex]\mathbf{Ratio = 131 : 464}[/tex]
Let the number of times she bat in 162 games be represented with x.
So, the ratio is represented as:
[tex]\mathbf{Ratio = 162 : x}[/tex]
Equate both ratios
[tex]\mathbf{162 : x = 131 : 464}[/tex]
Express as fractions
[tex]\mathbf{\frac{x}{162 }= \frac{464}{131 }}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 162
[tex]\mathbf{x= \frac{464}{131 } \times 162}[/tex]
Multiply
[tex]\mathbf{x= \frac{75168}{131 } }[/tex]
Divide
[tex]\mathbf{x= 574}[/tex]
Hence, she's expected to bat 574 times in 162 games
