2 The figure shows how the yard lines on a football field are numbered. The goal lines
are labeled G. A referee was standing on a certain yard line as the first quarter ended.
3
He walked 41 yards to a yard line with the same number as the one he had just left.
4
How far was the referee from the nearest goal line? Express your answer as a
simplified mixed number.

9514 1404 393

  29 1/8 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ref is distance 'd' from the goal line, after walking 41 3/4 yards to the same yard line at the other end of the field, he will also be at distance d from that goal line.

Hence the total ...

  d + 41 3/4 + d

will be the length of the field between goal lines, 100 yards.

  2d +41 3/4 = 100

  2d = 58 1/4 . . . . . . subtract 41 3/4

  d = 29 1/8 . . . . . . . divide by 2

The referee was 29 1/8 yards from the nearest goal line.

is there any attachment? what are the equations?
