Answer:
Brandon
Step-by-step explanation:
GIVEN: Branden and Pete each play running back. Branden carries the ball [tex]75[/tex] times for [tex]550[/tex] yards, and Pete has [tex]42[/tex] carries for [tex]380[/tex] yards.
TO FIND: Who runs farther per carry.
SOLUTION:
Total yards traveled by Brandon [tex]=550\text{yards}[/tex]
No. of times ball carried by Brandon [tex]=75\text{ times}[/tex]
Average yards per carry for Brandon [tex]=\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{550}{75}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{22}{3}\text{ yards per carry}[/tex]
[tex]=7.33\text{ yards per carry}[/tex]
Total yards traveled by Pete [tex]=380\text{ yards}[/tex]
No. of times ball carried by Pete [tex]=42\text{ times}[/tex]
Average yards per carry for Pete [tex]=\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{380}{42}[/tex]
≅ [tex]9\text{ yards per carry}[/tex]
As the number of yards per carry is higher for Brandon , therefore he runs farther per carry.
