To find the ratio of balls hit to left field to balls hit to right field, we can use the given numbers:
- Balls hit to left field = 7
- Balls hit to right field = 8
The ratio can be calculated as:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Balls hit to left field}}{\text{Balls hit to right field}} = \frac{7}{8} \]
Now we convert this fraction to a decimal:
\[ \frac{7}{8} = 0.875 \]
Rounding 0.875 to the nearest hundredth gives us:
\[ 0.88 \]
Thus, the final answer is:
0.88
