Question

Hadley softball team has a phone tree in case a game is canceled the coach calls 3 players then each of those players calls 3 players and so on how many players will be notified during the third round of calls

Answer 1

Isn't it 27 players? Because each of the first 3 players call 3 players, so it's 3x3 = 9. And then each of those 9 players call 3 players each, so that's 3x9 = 27.
