Question

Gerald recorded the gains and losses for each play on the football field. Gains were marked with a + and losses with a –. Play 1 2 3 4 Yards +4 –6 –2 +3

Answer 1

Play 3

Explanation:

Given:

`\left\begin{array}{ccccc}{Play}&{1}&{2}&{3}&{4}&{Yards}&{+4}&{-6}&{-2}&{+3}\end{array}\right`

Required [Missing from the question]:

Determine the play with the least change in yard?

To do this, we ignore the sign in front of each yard before we analyze.

So, we have:

Play 1 has a change of 4

Play 2 has 6

Play 3 has 2

Play 4 has 3

From the above analysis, play has the least (which is 2)
