In a baseball league consisting of 15 teams, each team plays each of the other teams twice. How many games will be played?
14 * 2 = ?
15 * 2...... dont listen to ms sue its the fake. you said 15 teams not 14..
Do teams play themselves?
To find out how many games will be played in the baseball league, we need to calculate the total number of games each team plays against all the other teams.
Each team plays each of the other teams twice, which means that for each team, there will be 14 other teams to play against (since a team cannot play against itself). Therefore, the number of games each team plays against other teams is given by:
Number of games = 14 (other teams) × 2 (number of games per team)
However, since each game involves two teams, we need to divide the total number of games by 2 to avoid counting each game twice:
Total number of games = (14 × 2) / 2
Simplifying the equation:
Total number of games = 14
Therefore, in a baseball league consisting of 15 teams, each team plays each of the other teams twice, resulting in a total of 14 games being played.
