Write the following rate as a fraction in lowest terms.
2 hits to 38 times at bat
Answer

Step 1 ：The problem is asking to express the rate of hits to times at bat as a fraction in lowest terms. This means we need to divide the number of hits by the number of times at bat and simplify the fraction if possible.

Step 2 ：Given that the number of hits is 2 and the number of times at bat is 38, we can write this as a fraction as \( \frac{2}{38} \).

Step 3 ：To simplify this fraction to its lowest terms, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 2 and 38, which is 2, and divide both the numerator and the denominator by this number.

Step 4 ：After simplifying, we get \( \frac{1}{19} \).

Step 5 ：So, the rate of hits to times at bat as a fraction in lowest terms is \( \boxed{\frac{1}{19}} \).
