A baseball player’s batting average is the ratio of the number of hits to the number of times the player is at bat. During spring training, a player has 50 at bats and 13 hits. Partway through the regular season, the player has 46 hits in 200 at bats.
1

What was the player's batting average during spring training?

2

Write a function that represents the players regular season batting average if the player gets x number of hits in all their remaining number of at bats.
