Answer 1

The context that describes a difference of rational numbers is: A football player loses yards on a play.

This context directly implies a subtraction, as losing yards indicates a decrease in a quantity (the player's total yards), which relates to the concept of finding a difference between two rational numbers (the current and the new yards).
