Answer:

120 games.

Explanation:

We have been given that there are 16 teams in a football league. Each team plays each other twice. We are asked to find total number of games are there in the football league.

We will use formula
(n(n-1))/(2) to solve our given problem.

Each team will play matches with one team less as it will not play match with itself.

We will divide all number of matches by 2 to avoid repetition.


(16(16-1))/(2)=(16(15))/(2)=8*15=120

Therefore, there are 120 games in the football league.
