If he scores 70 points in 5 games
he is scoring 14 points in each game on average
if he keeps the same pace
in 16 games he will score
16 multiplied by 14
that is 224

70/5=14
14* 16=224

it would be 70/5=14 for an average,
and then 14*16=224
so he should score 224 points.

70 points / 5 games = 14 points per game.
14 points per game * 16 games = 224 points.

70 / 5 = average ( 14 pts / gm)
14 * 16 = 224
