Chess Club: Rounds, Points, and Ratings

Connect changing quantities with equations, tables, and graphs.

1. Plan the Pairings

Use two variables to model the tournament setup.

Each active chessboard has exactly 2 players. Let n represent the number of active boards and p represent the number of players seated at those boards.
1.
The organizer chooses how many boards to use. Which statement correctly describes the variables?
  • A. p is independent, and n depends on p.
  • B. Both n and p are independent quantities.
  • C. Neither n nor p can change in this situation.
  • D. n is independent, and p depends on n.
2.
Which equation gives the number of seated players for any number of active boards?
  • A. p = n + 2
  • B. p = 2n
  • C. n = 2p
  • D. p = n ÷ 2
