Question

The tables show the statistics of a running back in a football game did he gain more than 50 yards total? Explain .

Answer 1

He gained more than 50 yards in the game.

Explanation:

Running back in the first quarter in a football game = -8.5 yards

Running back in second quarter = 23 yards

Running back in 3rd quarter = 42.5 yards

Running back in 4th quarter = -2.25 yards

Total gain in the game = -8.5 + 23 + 42.5 - 2.25 = 54.75 yards

That means he gained more than 50 yards in the game.
