standard_description: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).
problem_activity: Task
Before a game, Jake's batting average was exactly 0.350.  That is, the decimal expansion of the fraction $$\frac{\text{number of hits}}{\text{times at bat}}$$ is equal to 0.350. During the game, Jake bats 4 times and get 2 hits.  If Jake's batting average after the game is 0.359, how many times had Jake batted before the game? Explain.
