4
yards. Find the average change in field position on each run. Enter the average change as a simplified mixed number.

Answer 1

It would just be the total distance over the number of runs. That being said, -15 3/4 divided by 9. -15 3/4 is equal to -63/4. -63/4 *1/9 = -7/4 or a loss of 1 3/4 yards per run.
