while computing the statistics of his baseball team, Jake found that Geraldo was getting a hit 5 out of 7 times at bat. Approximately how many hits would Geraldo get if he were at bat 100 times?
Hint---It would be a whole number.

5/7 is approximately equal to 0.714. Multiply this by 100 and you get 71.4. The nearest whole number is 71.
