Problema Solution
Sean was at batting practice. He swung 25 times but only hit the ball 15 times. Use the value of each ratio to express one quantity as a fraction of the other.

The problem statement is ambiguous... the fraction can indicate a decimal rather than a percentage.
The fraction to express the number of hits would be:
15/25
0.6
As a percentage, multiply by 100 and 60% is the numer of hits.
