Question

A football team was given 3 penalties for 15 yards each. What was the total change in their field position from these penalties? Explain your reasoning. *

Answer 1

Answer: Three 15-yard penalties totals 45 yards lost.

Two 5-yard penalties totals another 10 yards lost.

So the team lost a grand total of 55 yards to penalties.

Step-by-step explanation: 3·15 = 45 now remember 45 then do the equation 2·5 = 10 now 45 + 10 = 55 and there is your answer

Answer 2

45

If there was 3 penalties given for 15 yards each then we would have to multiply 3 by 15, or 15 by 3. To get the sum of 45.
