Question

if a knockout tennis competition starts with 64 players how many runs will it take to reach the grand final show your steps using law of exponents​

Answer 1

• 5 runs

Explanation:

Initial number is 64 players

Number of players reduce twice every run and will be equal to 2 to reach the grand final

• 64*(1/2)^x = 2
• (1/2)^x = 1/32
• 2^-x = 2^-5
• -x = -5
• x = 5

Number of runs is 5

64 > 32 > 16 > 8 > 4 > 2
