Messi scored 91 goals in 69 games but scored 79 goals in 51 games as a false nine and Ronaldo scored 69 goals in 56 games as a left winger. If a false nine has a increased chance of scoring more goals than a winger. How many goals will Ronaldo have scored in 69 games as a false nine. Explain in detail along with simplified mathematical expressions.

Answer 1

To find out how many goals Ronaldo would have scored in 69 games as a false nine, we can set up a proportion using the information given.

Let's first calculate the average number of goals per game for both players in their respective positions:

Average goals per game for Messi as a false nine:
79 goals / 51 games = 1.549 goals/game

Average goals per game for Ronaldo as a left winger:
69 goals / 56 games = 1.232 goals/game

Now, we set up the proportion using the average goals per game:

1.549 goals/game (Messi as a false nine) = x goals/69 games (Ronaldo as a false nine)

To solve for x, we cross-multiply:

1.549 * 69 = x

x ≈ 106.881

So, Ronaldo would have scored approximately 107 goals in 69 games as a false nine based on this proportion.
