OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 5 b. –5 c. –7 d. 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anytime :)

OpenStudy (dan815):

i think its C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get c?

OpenStudy (dan815):

do you want me to show my work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well losing 5 yards would be -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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):

what?@GLKK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@GLKK

OpenStudy (dan815):

@Kainui

OpenStudy (dan815):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm confused lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same but that was a good explination

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Very good explanation, indeed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would go with - 5 because it says a loss of 5 Yards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@alondrachaire -5 is correct. they are complicating this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay then @GLKK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you were correct it was -5 @GLKK

OpenStudy (dan815):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
