If a football player gains 40 yards on a play, but on the next play, he loses 10 yards, what would his total yards be for the game if he ran for another 60 yards? What did you count by to label the units on your number line ( make number line)
so, did you make a number line and decide on the units?
what are they talking about?
If a football player gains 40 yards on a play, but on the next play, he loses 10 yards, what would his total yards be for the game if he ran for another 60 yards? What did you count by to label the units on your Number line?
To find the football player's total yards for the game, we need to add the yards gained and subtract the yards lost.
First, the football player gains 40 yards on the first play. So, we start with 40 yards.
Next, on the next play, the football player loses 10 yards. We subtract 10 yards from the previous total: 40 - 10 = 30 yards.
Finally, if the football player runs for another 60 yards, we add 60 yards to the current total: 30 + 60 = 90 yards.
Therefore, his total yards for the game would be 90 yards.
Now, let's label the units on a number line to visualize the yards gained and lost.
We'll use the number line to represent the range of yards gained and lost.
First, we'll label a point on the number line as 0, which represents no yards gained or lost.
Next, we can label the point 40 to represent the 40 yards gained on the first play.
Then, we can label the point 30 to represent the remaining 30 yards after losing 10 yards on the next play.
Finally, we can label the point 90 to represent the total yards gained after gaining an additional 60 yards.
So, the number line would look like this:
0--------30-------------40------------------90
