Work Step by Step

We find the number of hits per at bat to find how well each hit. For Freeman: $$ =\frac{168}{600} \\ = .28$$ For Suzuki, the ratio is: $$ =\frac{126}{450} \\ = .28$$ We see that the ratio is the same, so it follows that it is fair for her to argue that they were equally good hitters.
