Eight soccer teams are to play each other two times in a season. How many games will be played?
a.56 games

b.

b.32 games

c.16 games

d.40 games

Answer 1

you can think of it this way:
you are on a team, and your team plays 7 games and each other team plays 7 games
so in total there are \(8\times 7=56\) but you have to divide by 2 because each game counts for two teams
i hope b is 28

Answer 2

if not, then i made a mistake

Answer 3

28 isn't an answer choice

Answer 4

damn

Answer 5

oh because i am not smart

Answer 6

your team plays every other team TWICE so your team and each other team plays 14 games

Answer 7

therefore it is \(\frac{8\times 14}{2}=8\times 7=56\)

Answer 8

thanks!
