    He would have to hit over 122 bats to reach 50 hits.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of bats that Layne would hit to get 50 hits.

    Layne got 9 hits in his first 22 at bats. It means that his hitting rate would be 9/22.

    If his hitting rate remains constant, then the number of bats that Layne would hit to get 50 hits would be

    9/22 * x = 50

    0.409x = 50

    Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 0.409, it becomes

    0.409x/0.409 = 50/0.409

    x = 122.2

    Cross multiply

    9/50 22/x

    9x=1100

    x=122.22

    Might have to round up to 123 hits
