Question

In golf, scores are based on par. Par 72 means that a golfer should hit the ball 72

times to complete 18 holes of golf. A score of 67, or 5 under par, is written as -5.

A score of 3 over par is written as +3. At the Masters Tournament (par 72) in April,

2001, Tiger Woods shot 70, 66, 68, and 68 during four rounds of golf.


Use integers to write his score for each round as over or under par.

Answer 1

round score

1 -2

2 -6

3 -4

4 -4

Explanation:

round 1 score = 70 - 72 = -2, it is under par because the score i slower than 72 (par)

round 2 score = 66 - 72 = -6, it is under par because the score i slower than 72 (par)

round 3 score = 68 - 72 = -4, it is under par because the score i slower than 72 (par)

round 4 score = 68 - 72 = -4, it is under par because the score i slower than 72 (par)

An integer is a whole number (not a fraction or decimal) that can be either positive or negative.
