Question

Skylar gained 64 yards on 16 carries during a recent football game. Find the ratio of yards per carry

Answer 1

his average yards per carry ratio is 4.0 yards

Answer 2

`4\text{ yards}: 1\text{ carry}`

Explanation:

We have been given that Skylar gained 64 yards on 16 carries during a recent football game. We are asked to find the ratio of yards per carry.

Our required ratio would be: 64 yards : 16 carries.

Dividing our ratio by 16:

`\frac{16\text{ yards}}{16}:\frac{16\text{ carries}}{16}`

`4\text{ yards }: 1\text{ carry}`

Therefore, our required ratio would be
`4\text{ yards}: 1\text{ carry}`.
