Answer 1

We are given : A football team loses 108 yards in 12 plays.

Because the football team loses 108 yards, we would take a negative value for loses.

Therefore, total loss =-108 yards.

1) According to first part we need to find the average loss per play.

Total number of plays = 12.

Therefore, the average loss per play = -108/12.

Therefore, correct option is C option.

C) Negative 108/12

2) On dividing -108 by 12, we get -9.

Therefore, -9 tells the average change in field position for each of the 12 plays.

Correct option is B) −9.
