Answer:

- 16 loss per play

Explanation:

If the team lost 48 yards,

To represent the loss by a negative number means to add a negative sign to the loss number

That is,

Add negative to 48

Which is

-48

Average loss per play =number of yards loss/ number of plays

= -48/3

= -16

-16 yards lost per play
