The regular season for professional baseball is 162 games. A player was at bat 3 times in each game, and he played in two-thirds of the games.
A:How many times was the player at bat during the season?
B:The player hit 0.250, which means he got a hit 25% of the time, or once in every four at bats. How many hits did he get during the year?
Thanks for helping me out!

(2/3) * 162 = 108 games played
108 * 3 = 324 at bats
324 / 4 = 81 base hits.

Ok,
162 games, played 2/3, so 162 * (2/3) = 108 games
A He has 3 bats per game so 324 bats
B 324 * (1/4) = 81 hits

162/3=54
54*2=108 (games)
108*3=324 (times at bat)
324/4=81 hits

162 games * 3 times per game = 486 times at bat per season
Since he only played in 2/3 of the games: 486 * 2/3 = 324 times at bat
324 * 0.25 = 81 hits
