A football team tries to move the ball forward as many yards as possible on each play, but sometimes they end up behind where they started. The distances, in yards, that a team moves on its first five plays are 2, 21, 4, 3, and 25. A positive number indicates moving the ball forward, and a negative number indicates moving the ball backward?

Required Question:

Which number in the list is the greatest?

Answer:

25 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Distance:2\ 21\ 4\ 3\ 25[/tex]

Required

The greatest distance moved

To do this, we make comparison between the 5 distances given and select the greatest.

By comparison:

[tex]25 > 2[/tex]

[tex]25 > 21[/tex]

[tex]25 > 4[/tex]

[tex]25 > 3[/tex]

Hence, the greatest distance is 25 yards
