Messi scored 79 goals in 51 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.

Answer 1

To find the number of goals that Ronaldo would have scored in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi, we need to compare the goal-scoring rates of both players in their respective positions.

We can start by calculating Messi's goal-scoring rate in the false nine position in the 2012 calendar year. He played 51 games and scored 79 goals, so his goal-scoring rate would be:

Goal-scoring rate (Messi) = 79 goals / 51 games

Next, we need to assume that Ronaldo's goal-scoring rate as a left winger is the same as his goal-scoring rate in the false nine position. So, we can use this information to calculate Ronaldo's goal-scoring rate:

Goal-scoring rate (Ronaldo) = 69 goals / 56 games

Now, we can use these goal-scoring rates to find the number of goals Ronaldo would have scored in the same number of games as Messi.

Let's assume that Ronaldo plays x games as a false nine. To find the number of goals he would have scored, we can set up a proportion using the goal-scoring rates:

Goal-scoring rate (Ronaldo) / Goal-scoring rate (Messi) = Number of goals (Ronaldo) / Number of games (Ronaldo)

(69 goals / 56 games) / (79 goals / 51 games) = Number of goals (Ronaldo) / x games

By cross-multiplying, we get:

(69 goals / 56 games) * (51 games / 79 goals) = Number of goals (Ronaldo) / x games

Simplifying this equation, we get:

(69 * 51) / (56 * 79) = Number of goals (Ronaldo) / x games

Multliplying the numerator and denominator, we get:

(3519) / (4424) = Number of goals (Ronaldo) / x games

Now, we can solve for the number of goals Ronaldo would have scored (Number of goals (Ronaldo)) by multiplying both sides of the equation by x games:

(3519 * x) / (4424) = Number of goals (Ronaldo)

Thus, based on the given information and the calculations above, we can determine the number of goals Ronaldo would have scored in the same amount of games as Messi in the false nine position.
