Messi scored 91 goals in 69 games in the 2012 calendar year in a false nine position and Ronaldo scored 69 goals in 56 games as left winger. How many goals will Ronaldo have scored in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi. Explain in detail along with mathematical expressions.
To find the number of goals Ronaldo will have scored in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi, we can start by calculating their goals per game average in their respective positions.
Messi: goals per game average = total goals / total games = 91 / 69 ≈ 1.32 goals/game
Ronaldo: goals per game average = total goals / total games = 69 / 56 ≈ 1.23 goals/game
Now, we need to find out how many games Ronaldo will play in the false nine position. Since Messi played 69 games in the 2012 calendar year, Ronaldo will also play 69 games.
Number of goals Ronaldo will score in a false nine position = goals per game average * total games
= 1.23 goals/game * 69 games
≈ 84.87 goals
However, since we cannot have a fraction of a goal, we round the result to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Ronaldo will have scored approximately 85 goals in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi.
To determine how many goals Ronaldo would have scored in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi, we need to find the goals per game ratio for both players in their respective positions.
Messi scored 91 goals in 69 games as a false nine, so his goals per game ratio will be:
Goals per game = Total goals / Total games
= 91 goals / 69 games
≈ 1.32 goals per game
Now, we'll use this ratio to calculate how many goals Ronaldo would have scored if he played the same number of games as Messi did as a false nine. Ronaldo scored 69 goals in 56 games as a left winger, so we can write the following equation:
Goals as false nine = Goals per game ratio * Total games as false nine
Substituting the values, we get:
Goals as false nine = 1.32 goals per game * 56 games
≈ 73.92 goals
Therefore, if Ronaldo played the same number of games as Messi did as a false nine, he would have scored approximately 73.92 goals.
