A football team had 4 plays. The first play they gained 6 yards, the second play they lost 3 yards, the third play they lost 2 more yards and the last play they gained 1 more yard. If they started at he zero yard line where are they now?
To determine where the football team is now, we need to calculate the net yardage gained or lost. Let's calculate it step-by-step:
1. The first play gained 6 yards, so the team is now at 6 yards. (0 + 6 = 6)
2. The second play resulted in a loss of 3 yards, so the team is now at 3 yards. (6 - 3 = 3)
3. The third play resulted in a loss of 2 more yards, so the team is now at 1 yard. (3 - 2 = 1)
4. Finally, the last play gained 1 more yard, so the team is now at 2 yards. (1 + 1 = 2)
Therefore, the football team is currently at the 2-yard line.
To determine the current position of the football team, we need to keep track of the yardage gained and lost on each play.
Starting from the zero yard line:
1st play: The team gained 6 yards, so they are now at the 6 yard line.
2nd play: The team lost 3 yards, so they are now at the 6 - 3 = 3 yard line.
3rd play: The team lost 2 more yards, so they are now at the 3 - 2 = 1 yard line.
4th play: The team gained 1 more yard, so they are now at the 1 + 1 = 2 yard line.
Therefore, the football team is currently at the 2-yard line.
