Answer: 6
Explanation:
If we call each team, A, B, C and D, each team has to play each other team once. Let's call each pairing between 2 teams the 2 teams' letters next to each other, e.g. AB is A playing against B. A has to play against B, C and D so we have AB, AC and AD. So we have 3 so far.
We have already counted that B is playing A but we haven't counted B playing C and D yet so we also have BC and BD. So we have 5 in total
Lastly, C needs to play D, we have already counted C playing B and C playing A so we have CD left. In total that gives 6.
Now we have already included D playing every other team so we don't include any other pairings.
In total, now every team has played every other team giving a total of 6.
(another way of solving this is doing "3!2 but if you haven't learnt factorials yet stick to the first method.
