Answer 1

Given:

A race car game takes 6 points from a player each time the player hits a cone.

To find:

The integer which represents the change in total points if the player hits 10 cones.

Solution:

According to the given information,

1 hit = -6 points

Here, negative sign represents the reduction in points after hitting a cone.

If the player hits 10 cones.

(1 × 10) hit = (-6 × 10) points

10 hit = -60 points

So, the change in total points if the player hits 10 cones is -60.

Therefore, the required integer is -60.
