Answer:
I estimate he hit 400 bats.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to set up a ratio to solve.
Joseph hits about 2 out of every 5 bats, and we want to find out the number of hits we had if he was up to bat 1,000 times.
[tex]\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{1000}[/tex]
Cross multiply to solve.
2(1000) = 5(x)
2000 = 5x
Divide by 5 on both sides.
X = 400
I estimate he hit 400 bats.
