During the baseball season Melissa get six hits in 20 times at the bat Billy Jones gets nine hits in tea times at that if the ratio of the two players hits two times at batch is equivalent to what value of T

1 answer

To determine the equivalent value of \( T \) in the ratio of hits to times at bat for Melissa and Billy Jones, start by calculating the ratios.

  1. For Melissa:

    • Hits: 6
    • Times at bat: 20
    • Ratio: \(\frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}\)
  2. For Billy Jones:

    • Hits: 9
    • Times at bat: 10
    • Ratio: \(\frac{9}{10}\)

Now, we set the two ratios equal to each other: \[ \frac{3}{10} = \frac{9}{T} \]

To find \( T \), cross-multiply: \[ 3T = 90 \]

Now, solve for \( T \): \[ T = \frac{90}{3} = 30 \]

Thus, the value of \( T \) is \( 30 \).
