Question

A football team loses a total of 12 yards in 4 plays. On average how many yards did the team move the ball per play?

Answer 1

The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total yards lost = 12 yards

Total plays = 4 plays

As the yards are lost, therefore, we will use negative sign.

Yards per play = $\frac{Number\ of\ yards}{Number\ of\ plays}$

Yards per play = $\frac{-12}{4}$

Yards per play = -3

The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.
