Time for another Problem of the Week! This one is rather elementary, but is connected with a pet topic of mine which I plan to write a post on soon:
If a baseball player’s batting average is .334, what is the minimum number of times he’s been up at bat?
[Note for those who are not fans of baseball: a player's batting average is (number of hits made)/(number of times at bat), rounded to three decimal places.]
