True @chantz417
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did i miss something or is the question that simple?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well i don't get how it could be c?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how not
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you go back 5 yards you are losing 5 yards you already had so therefore -5

@chantz417 I gave you the correct answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if they are talking in terms of yards if they are just talking about distance it could be 5
OpenStudy (dan815):
but u see the units are not specified
OpenStudy (dan815):
and if i convert the yards to shards
then 1 shard = 5/7 yard
therefore
-7 shards = -5 yards

OpenStudy (anonymous):
