Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Pete runs farther per carry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Branden and Pete both play running back.

Branden carries the ball 75 times for 550 yards.

Pete had 42 carries for 380 yards

Question asked:

Who runs farther per carry ?

Solution:

First of all we find each boy's distance covered per carry:-

For Branden

Branden carries the ball 75 times for = 550 yards.

Branden carries the ball 1 time for = $\frac{550}{75} =7.34\ yard$

For Pete

Pete carries 42 times for = 380 yards

Pete carries 1 time for = $\frac{380}{42} =9.05\ yards$

As Pete runs 9.05 yards for 1 carry while Branden runs 7.34 yards for 1 carry, hence Pete runs farther per carry.
