Question

The Texans ran the ball four times during the first five minutes of the football game. Determine the total yards gained or lost:

a. 15 yards gained
b. 7 yards lost
c. 3 yards gained
d. 2 yards lost

Answer 1

The Texans gained a total of 9 yards after four runs in a football game by adding the yards gained and subtracting the yards lost.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question deals with calculating the total yards gained or lost by the Texans in a football game. To find the total, we simply add the yards gained and subtract the yards lost. Let's do the calculation step by step:

1. Start with 15 yards gained.
2. Subtract 7 yards lost (15 - 7 = 8 yards).
3. Add 3 yards gained (8 + 3 = 11 yards).
4. Subtract 2 yards lost (11 - 2 = 9 yards).

So, the total yards gained by the Texans after the four runs is 9 yards.
