Last season 2 running backs on the Steelers football team rushe for a combined total of 1550 yards. One rushed 4 times as many yards as the other. How many yards were rushed by each player ?
Ratio 1 : 4 so one ran 1/(1+4) and the other ran 4/(1+4)
1/5 and 4 /5
1/5 x 1550 = ......
4/5 x 1550 = .....
