4,832 yards
Given:
Question:
How many total yards did he have?
The Process:
During the 2011 season, a quarterback passed for 302 yards per game, and he played 16 games.
To find out how many yards he has in the 2011 season, we must multiply the number of passes per game by the number of games he has played.
[tex]\boxed{ \ 302 \times 16 = \ ? \ }[/tex]
Let us use the following strategy:
[tex]\boxed{ \ 302 = 300 + 2 \rightarrow (300 + 2) \times 16 = \ ? \ }[/tex]
Recall that [tex]\boxed{ \ a \times (b + c) \leftrightharpoons (a \times b) + (a \times c) \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ = (300 + 2) \times 16 \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ = (300 \times 16) + (2 \times 16) \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ = (3 \times 16 \times 100) + (2 \times 16) \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ = (48 \times 100) + (32) \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{ \ = (4,800) + (32) \ }[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{ \ 4,832 \ }}[/tex]
Thus, he had 4,832 total yards during the 2011 season.
