Question

Michael threw for 1,654 yards in his first five games. At this rate, how many yards will he have thrown for in fifteen games? ✗

Answer 1

Answer:

4,962 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

For the first 5 games, Michael threw 1,654 yards.

Since, we see that, the relationship between the yards and the games are directly proportional.

Then for 15 games,

Michael will have thrown for $\frac{1654}{5}\times 3$ yards i.e. 1654 × 3 = 4,962 yards

Hence, for 15 games, Michael have thrown for 4,962 yards

Answer 2

Answer: 4,962 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Michael threw for 1,654 yards in his first five games.

The rate of threw = $\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Then , The rate of threw = $\dfrac{1654}{\text{5}}$ yard/ minute.

i.e. the distance of yards thrown in 1 minute =  $\dfrac{1654}{\text{5}}$ yard

If the rate remains same , then the distance of yards thrown for in fifteen games is given by :-

$\dfrac{1654}{5}\times15=4,962\text{ yards}$

Hence, At this rate, 4,962 yards will he have thrown for in fifteen games.
