A Game of Baseball

Baseball has been played in America for over 100 years. In this game, players use a bat to hit a ball that’s thrown by a pitcher. The ball is usually white with red stitching.

Each baseball game is played between two teams. The teams take turns at bat and in the field. Each team gets three outs per inning. There are nine innings in a game.

At a player's turn at bat, the pitcher throws the ball toward the batter. The batter tries to hit the ball. If the batter hits the ball and reaches first base safely, it is called a "single." If the batter hits the ball and reaches second base safely, it is called a "double." If the batter hits the ball and reaches third base safely, it is called a "triple." If the batter hits the ball and goes all the way around the bases and scores a run, it is called a "home run."

The game is scored based on runs. Teams score runs by hitting singles, doubles, triples, and home runs. They want to score more runs than the opposing team to win.

There are different types of hits:
- A single is worth 1 base.
- A double is worth 2 bases.
- A triple is worth 3 bases.
- A home run is worth 4 bases.

Now, here’s the actual math problem:

> "The team hit the following number of each type of hit during the game:
>
> - Singles: 8
> - Doubles: 3
> - Triples: 1
> - Home Runs: 2
>
> What fraction of the total hits were home runs?"

✔ Step-by-step Solution:

We need to find what fraction of the total hits were home runs.

#### Step 1: Find the total number of hits
Add up all the hits:
- Singles: 8
- Doubles: 3
- Triples: 1
- Home Runs: 2

Total hits = 8 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 14

#### Step 2: Identify how many were home runs
Home runs = 2

#### Step 3: Write the fraction
Fraction of hits that were home runs =
$$
\frac{\text{Number of home runs}}{\text{Total hits}} = \frac{2}{14}
$$

#### Step 4: Simplify the fraction
$$
\frac{2}{14} = \frac{1}{7}
$$

✔ Final Answer:

$$
\boxed{\frac{1}{7}}
$$

So, one-seventh of the total hits were home runs.
