A football team gained 21 yards on one play, lost 33 yards on another, and gained 14 yards on the last play of the first half. They had already gained 335 yards during the half. What was the total yardage gain for the first half?
335 + 21 - 33 + 14
Well, let's do some clown math here.
First, the team gained 21 yards on one play. Then, they lost 33 yards on another play. Hmm, that's like taking two steps forward and one step back.
Next, they gained 14 yards on the last play of the first half. So, in clown terms, we have 21 - 33 + 14.
That gives us a total yardage gain of 2 yards... from where they started!
But wait! The team already gained 335 yards during the half. So, we add that to our clown math equation.
2 + 335 = 337 yards!
So, the total yardage gain for the first half is a clownish 337 yards!
To find the total yardage gain for the first half, you need to add up the yards gained and subtract the yards lost.
1. Yards gained on the first play: 21
2. Yards lost on the second play: -33
3. Yards gained on the last play: 14
4. Total yards gained during the half: 335
Now let's calculate the total yardage gain for the first half:
Total yardage gain = Yards gained on the first play + Yards lost on the second play + Yards gained on the last play + Total yards gained during the half
Total yardage gain = 21 + (-33) + 14 + 335
When we add these values together, we get:
Total yardage gain = 37 + 335
Total yardage gain = 372
Therefore, the total yardage gain for the first half is 372 yards.
To find the total yardage gain for the first half, we need to sum up the yardage gained and lost on each play.
Let's break down the given information:
- The team gained 21 yards on one play.
- They lost 33 yards on another play.
- They gained 14 yards on the last play of the first half.
- They had already gained 335 yards during the half.
To calculate the total yardage gain, we can add up the individual gains and losses:
335 yards (previously gained) + 21 yards (gain on the first play) - 33 yards (loss on the second play) + 14 yards (gain on the last play)
Adding these up, we get:
335 + 21 - 33 + 14 = 337 yards gained during the first half.
Therefore, the total yardage gain for the first half is 337 yards.
