In American football, a team typically needs to advance the ball at least 10 yards to achieve a first down. However, for a touchdown, the team must cross the opponent's goal line, which is 10 yards from the start of the end zone. Therefore, a team must travel at least 10 yards from their current position to score a touchdown, assuming they are starting just outside the end zone.

What math rule describes the relationship between the number of curtains made and the yards of fabric needed?

The relationship between the number of curtains made and the yards of fabric needed can be described by a linear equation. Specifically, if each curtain requires a fixed amount of fabric (let’s say (x) yards), the total yards of fabric needed can be calculated using the formula (y = mx), where (y) is the total fabric needed, (m) is the number of curtains, and (x) is the fabric required per curtain. This means that as the number of curtains increases, the total fabric required increases proportionally.


What is the longest NUMBER of yards the offense has to do In one run?

In American football, the longest possible number of yards an offense can gain in one run is typically 99 yards, which occurs when a player carries the ball from their own end zone to the opposing end zone without being tackled. This is the maximum distance on a single play, as the field itself is 100 yards long, but the offense starts from their own 1-yard line. Any gain exceeding this distance would result in a touchdown.
