5 AB x .420 = 210 hits x 20% = 42 strike outs
5 at bats
.420 batting average = 42% of his at bats produced a hit
5 x 42% = 210 hits
1 strike out for every 5 hits
1 / 5 = 20%
5 at bats with 20% being strikeouts
210 hits x 20% = 42 strike outs
OK.
Mark hits the ball 420 times for every 10 times at bat.
We want only 1/2 of this (5 times at bat).
So…
420/10 = 210/5
(210 hits for every 5 times at bat)
210 hits/5 at bat * 1 strikeout/5 hits = 42 strikeouts for every 5 times at bat
Reminder: Cancel out like terms (hits) to get the answer to read strikeout/times at bat.
Multiply 5 by his batting average of .420, and you get that he had 210 hits.
Since he had one strikeout for every hit, just divide 210 by 5. He had 42 strikeouts.
And if he hit .420, he had one of the best baseball seasons of any player who ever lived.
Tim Lincecum. What do I ought to lose. Its unlike i’m envisioned to get a fulfillment besides so i could as properly see what its desire to stand the appropriate pitcher in the sport. And if I did with the help of twist of fate get a fulfillment off of him then i ought to assert for something of my existence that I have been given a fulfillment off of Tim Lincecum…and had a profession a million.0 batting familiar haha.
5 x .420 = number of hits
number of hits /5 = number of K’s.
You raise some good points here.
