To calculate the number of yards the running back completed in the 4th quarter, we need to multiply the number of rushes in the 4th quarter by the number of yards lost per rush and subtract that from the total yards gained in the 4th quarter.
Given:
Number of yards gained in the 4th quarter = 129
Number of rushes in the 4th quarter = 5
Number of yards lost per rush = 5
To find the number of yards completed in the 4th quarter, we can use the formula:
Yards completed = Total yards gained - (Number of rushes * Yards lost per rush)
Substituting the values we have:
Yards completed = 129 - (5 * 5)
Yards completed = 129 - 25
Yards completed = 104
Therefore, the running back completed 104 yards in the 4th quarter.
