Question

A football player runs the ball from the 20-yard line on one side of the field to the 20-yard line on the other side. How many yards did the player run?

Answer 1

Choose the coordinate pair to plot on the coordinate plane so the ratio stays equivalent.

(3,16)
(7,36)
(0,0)
(4,20)

Answer 2

The player ran a total of 60 yards (20 yards on one side + 20 yards on the other side + 20 yards down the middle).

Answer 3

To make sure the ratio stays equivalent, we need to make sure the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate is the same for both points.

Let's calculate the ratio for each option:

1. For (3,16):
16/3 = 5.33

2. For (7,36):
36/7 = 5.14

3. For (0,0):
0/0 is undefined.

4. For (4,20):
20/4 = 5

Based on these calculations, the coordinate pair (4, 20) would be the best option to plot on the coordinate plane so the ratio stays equivalent.
