Question

A football team has a net yardage of -26 1/3 yards of a series of plays. The team needs to get yardage of 10 yards to get a first down. How many yards do they have to get on their next play to get a first down?

Answer 1

well, they need to get 26 1/3 yards just to get back to zero. Then another 10 for the 1st down. That's 36 1/3 yards.

Or, 10-(-26 1/3) = 36 1/3
