Certainly! Let's break this down step-by-step:
1. Determine the number of times the player did not get a hit:
- The player had 100 at bats.
- Out of these, the player got 44 hits.
- To find out the number of times the player did not get a hit, subtract the number of hits from the total at bats:
[tex]\[
100 - 44 = 56
\][/tex]
- Hence, the player did not get a hit 56 times.
2. Calculate the fraction of times the player did not get a hit:
- The fraction is given by the number of misses (times the player did not get a hit) divided by the total number of at bats:
[tex]\[
\frac{56}{100}
\][/tex]
- Simplifying this fraction, it remains [tex]\(\frac{56}{100}\)[/tex], which can also be written as 0.56 in decimal form.
3. Calculate the percentage of times the player did not get a hit:
- To convert the fraction to a percentage, multiply it by 100:
[tex]\[
0.56 \times 100 = 56\%
\][/tex]
Therefore, the player did not get a hit 56 times, which is represented as a fraction of [tex]\(\frac{56}{100}\)[/tex] or 0.56, and in percentage form, it is 56%. These are the two answers:
- Fraction: [tex]\(\frac{56}{100}\)[/tex] or 0.56
- Percentage: 56%
