The running back for the Bulldogs football team carried the ball 7 times for a total loss of 15 3 4 yards. Find the average change in field position on each run. Enter the average change as a simplified mixed number

Respuesta :

The average would be the total yards divided by the number of carries:

Rewrite 15 3/4 as 63/4

Now divide by 7:

63/4 / 7 =

63/4 x 1/7 = 63/28 = 2 1/4

Because the total yards was a loss, which would be a negative number, the average is - 2 1/4 yards per play.
