Answer: Ortiz had 73 singles.
His slugging average =0.6503
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: At bats = 489
Total hits = 155
Doubles = 47
triple =1
Home runs = 34
Number of singles = (Total hits )-(Doubles +triple + Home runs)
= 155-(47+1+34)
= 155 - 82 =73
So, Ortiz had 73 singles.
Total Bases = 3(Triples)+ 1(singles) + 2 (doubles)+ 4 (Home runs)
= 3(1)+1(73)+2(47)+4(37)
= 3+73+ 94+148 =318
At bats = 489
[tex]\text{Slugging average}=\dfrac{\text{Total bases}}{\text{At bats}}\\\\=\dfrac{318}{489}=0.6503[/tex]
Hence, his slugging average =0.6503
