Question

During a football game, a quarterback standing at the 9-yard line passes the ball to a receiver at the 24-yard line. The receiver then runs with the ball halfway to the 50-yard line. How many total yards(passing plus running) did the team gain on the play?

Answer 1

28 yards because 24+50=74 and 74/2=37 so the play ends at the 37 yard line, and 37-9=28.
