Suppose a football team's offense which passes 58% of the time (and rushes the rest), averages 6.9 yards per pass and 4.4 yards per rush.
In a game with 65 offensive plays, how many yards would you expect them to gain?
:
Find the no. of passes
.58(65) = 38 passes
Find the no. of rushes
.42(65) = 27 rushes
:
A simple equation that you should be able to solve
Total yards = 38(6.9) + 27(4.4)
