Having trouble with 9th grade math question.

[jfesler]

The question is: A baseball player's batting average is calculated by dividing the number of hits he makes by his number of times at bat. Ryne Malone had a .330 batting average with 67 hits. How many times did he appear at bat?

Look at the statement above in red. It tells us that batting average is a ratio:

\(\displaystyle \text{batting average} = \frac{\text{number of hits}}{\text{times at bat}}\)

They have given you two of these three quantities. Substitute each of these values into their appropriate places in the formula for batting average, and go from there.
