Final answer:
The football team loses a total of 28 yards after losing 7 yards on each of 4 consecutive plays, making the total change in yards -28 yards, which corresponds to option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the total change in yards from where a football team started after it loses 7 yards on each of 4 consecutive plays. To find the total change, we would multiply the number of yards lost in a single play by the number of plays.
We calculate it as follows:
7 yards/play × 4 plays = 28 yards
Since the team is losing yards, it is a negative value, making the total change in yards from where the team started -28 yards.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) -28 yards.
