number of games needed = C(16,2) = 120
6 hours = 360 minutes
time per game = 360/120 minutes = 3 minutes ????
silly question.
6 hours = 360 minutes
time per game = 360/120 minutes = 3 minutes ????
silly question.
So, 6 hours / 16 games = 0.375 hours per game.
To convert this to minutes, we multiply 0.375 hours by 60 minutes, which gives us:
0.375 * 60 = 22.5 minutes.
Therefore, the maximum length of time that can be allowed for each game is 22.5 minutes.
In this case, there are 16 teams, so each team will play against one other team during the first round. Therefore, there will be a total of 16/2 = 8 games in the first round.
We know that they have 6 hours to complete the first round, so we need to divide the total available time (6 hours) by the total number of games (8).
6 hours / 8 games = 0.75 hours per game
To convert this to minutes, we can multiply by 60:
0.75 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 45 minutes per game
Therefore, the maximum length of time that can be allowed for each game is 45 minutes.
