Question

During battling practice Thomas hits 15 balls to the outfield 8 balls to the right field and seven balls to the left field what is the ratio of balls hit to left field to balls hit to right field represent the ratio as a decimal around to the nearest hundredths A 0.47 B 0.88 C 1.14 D 0.53

Answer 1

To find the ratio of balls hit to the left field to balls hit to the right field, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Balls hit to left field}}{\text{Balls hit to right field}}
\]

From the information provided:
- Balls hit to left field = 7
- Balls hit to right field = 8

Now substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{7}{8} = 0.875
\]

Now, rounding 0.875 to the nearest hundredth:

0.875 becomes 0.88.

Thus, the answer is **B 0.88**.
