Answer to Question #154150 in Combinatorics | Number Theory for Megan

Question

How many hockey games would Leila have to schedule if there were 9 teams in a league and each team played each other three times.

Answer 1

There are 9 teams in total, we will count how many games will be if the teams play with each other and get 72 (8 * 9 since the teams cannot play with themselves). Since the teams will play like this 3 times, multiply 72 by 3, hence 72 * 3 = 216.

Answer: 216 games.
