Understanding Rational Numbers Through Ty Cobb's Batting Average

This project explores rational numbers by examining Ty Cobb's batting average, one of the highest in baseball history. Cobb, who achieved 4,189 hits out of 11,434 at-bats, showcases how fractions represent real-world data. His batting average can be expressed as 0.366, equating to a 36.6% success rate when at the plate. By using a number line to graphically represent these figures, we can better understand the concept of rational numbers in the context of sports statistics. My passion for baseball inspired me to delve into this topic.

  3. Career Connection • If he hit the ball 4,189 times out of 11,434 what would his decimal percent be? • A. .345 • B. .356 • C. .457 • D. .366

  4. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Try Again  

  6. Ty’s Average also in decimal percent. • Ty’s batting average was .366. In a fraction that would be 4,189 hits in 11,434 at bats. So on a number line you would have to use 11,500 markers to find his average.

  7. Ty’s Fraction of his Average • 4,189 hits in 11,434 at bats. So that means he got out 7,245 he got up to the plate. He hit more than 30% of the time.

  8. Ty’s Average • On a number line Ty’s average would look like this • (---------------------------------------------------------------) 12000 • 0 4,189

  9. Conclusion • I choose baseball as my integers project because I love it. I work better when I do something I like.
