Problema Solution
Phil's batting average is 0.300. This is about 4/5 as much as Joe's average. What is Joe's average?
Answer provided by our tutors
0.300 is three tens... so the fraction is 3/10.
The question states that 0.300 = 4/5 * joe's average.
Dividing both sides of the equation results in (0.300)/(4/5) = joe's average.
3/10 divided by 4/5 = 3/10 * 5/4
(3*5)/(10*4) = (15)/(40) = STUDY THESE STEPS = joe's average.
