Question

After 5 games Adrian Peterson has rushed for 498 yards. If he gains 4.5 yards per carry, how many carries will it take for him to reach 1200 yards

Answer 1

156 carries

Explanation:

Given that:

5 games = 498 yards

Number of yards Gained per carry = 4.5 yards

Target number of yards = 1200

Number of yards left to reach target :

1200 - 498 = 702 yards

Number of carries required = number of yards / yards per carry

Number of carries required = 702 / 4.5

= 156 carries
