6 wrestlers compete in a competition. if each wrestler wrestles one match with each other wrestler, what are the total numbers of matches?

Respuesta :

Riia

The total number of wrestlers are 6 and each have to wrestle each other wrestler only once.

It means, the first wrestler have 5 opponent, second have 4 opponents , third have three oponenets , fourth have two opponents and the fifth have only one opponent.

So the total number of matches = 5+4+3+2+1 =15

The total number of matches in the competition is 15

We are told that each wrestler competes in one match. And there are 6 wrestlers. Each wrestler then has 5 matches.

This means that there are 6 × 5 = 30 matches.

Worthy of remembrance is that each wrestler competes just once, not twice. For 30 matches, each wrestler must have competed twice. So, to get a one time match up, we divide by 2. And thus, 30/2 = 15 matches.
