Louis attended some baseball games this past summer. The last four games he attended were at the shea stadium. All but five games he attended were at the Yankee Stadium. All but five games he attended were at the Yankee Stadium. At least three games he atttended were Yankee Stadium. What was the fewest number of games that Louis could have attended?

8,9,10,12

Answer 1

To find the fewest number of games that Louis could have attended, we need to analyze the given information and make deductions.

We are told that the last four games Louis attended were at Shea Stadium. From this, we can conclude that Louis attended at least four games.

We are also told that all but five games Louis attended were at Yankee Stadium. Therefore, if we assume that Louis attended the minimum number of games at Yankee Stadium, he must have attended five games there. This means that Louis attended a total of nine games so far (4 at Shea Stadium and 5 at Yankee Stadium).

Lastly, we are informed that at least three games he attended were at Yankee Stadium. Since we already established that Louis attended five games at Yankee Stadium, we can deduce that the remaining four games he attended were at Shea Stadium.

Adding up the numbers, Louis attended four games at Shea Stadium and five games at Yankee Stadium, totaling nine games. Therefore, the fewest number of games that Louis could have attended is 9.

So, the correct answer is 9, not 8.
