IM Sanveer Singh Integrated Math 1 B (IS895) \#90179 | Mastery Assess It-1 Due: Tomorrow 8. A basketball tournament starts with 64 teams each year. After each round of play, half the teams are eliminated. How many teams are left after four rounds? one team four teams eight teams two teams

To solve the problem of how many teams are left after four rounds of a basketball tournament that starts with 64 teams and eliminates half of the teams after each round, we can follow these steps: 1. **Identify the initial number of teams**: - We start with \( T_0 = 64 \) teams. 2. **Determine the number of teams after each round**: - After the first round, half of the teams are eliminated: \[ T_1 = \frac{T_0}{2} = \frac{64}{2} = 32 \] - After the second round: \[ T_2 = \frac{T_1}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16 \] - After the third round: \[ T_3 = \frac{T_2}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \] - After the fourth round: \[ T_4 = \frac{T_3}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] 3. **Final count of teams**: - After four rounds, there are \( T_4 = 4 \) teams left. Thus, the answer is **four teams**.
