Karl is an assistant for a football team called the Silver Stripes. Last night, they played a rainy game
against the Lucky Elephants. Karl kept track of the
yards gained or lost each quarter. He noticed that
five out of every eight yards lost by the Stripes were
due to the slippery conditions of the rainy game.
Define units for the total yards lost and the
yards lost due to slippery conditions.

1. If the Stripes lost 32 yards on one play, how
many of these yards were lost due to the slippery
conditions?

2. If the Stripes lost 48 yards in back-to-back plays,
how many of these yards were lost due to the
slippery conditions?

3. If Karl attributes twenty-five yards lost in the first
quarter to slippery conditions, how many yards did
they lose during that quarter?

4. Enter a variable for the total yards lost and use
this variable to write an expression for the
yards lost due to slippery conditions.
