The ratio of Melissa's hits to times at bat is 6/20, which can be simplified to 3/10.
The ratio of Billie Jo's hits to times at bat is 9/t.
Since the two ratios are equal, we can set up the following equation:
3/10 = 9/t
To solve for t, we can cross-multiply:
3t = 90
Dividing both sides by 3, we have:
t = 30
Therefore, the value of t is 30.
During the baseball season, Melissa gets 6 hits in 20 times at bat. Billie Jo gets 9 hits in t times at bat. If the ratio of the two players’ hits to times at bat is equal, what is the value of t?(1 point)
