With 17 students there’s 17 possibilities for anyone to go first
For second, a person can’t be firsts and second so there is 16 possibilities for someone to go second

17*16=272

There’s 272 ways that the students who go first and second are chosen

Traveling with the current, a boat covers a distance 1.5 times greater than traveling against the current in the same amount of

jeka94

Let the speed of the current equal c
and the speed of the boat in still water equal b.

b + c = 1.5 (b - c)
b + c = 1.5b - 1.5c
0.5b = 2.5c
b = 5c

The speed of the current is 1.5 mph so
b = 5 * 1.5 = 7.5 mph
