Personally, I never bothered learning the formula. 
When I run into a problem like this, I look at it this way: 
(I learned this method from my high school math teacher,
Mr. H. Carlisle Taylor, in 1956.  It not only works, but I can
even understand it !)

The first object can be any one of the 8 .  For each of those ...
The 2nd object can be any one of the other 7.  For each of those ...
The 3rd object can be any one of the other 6 .  For each of those ...
The 4th object can be any one of the other 5 .  For each of those ...
The 5th object can be any one of the other 4 .  For each of those ...
The 6th object can be any one of the other 3 .  For each of those ...
The 7th object can be any one of the other 2 .  For each of those ...
The 8th object has to be the 1 that's left.

Total number of possible ways to line them up is

                 (8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1) =  40,320 ways .

a boat can travel 30 miles upstream in the same amount of time you can travel 50 miles Downstream. If the speed of the current i
almond37 [142]
Speed, S = Distance (d) / Time (t) => S= d/t => t= d/S

Let the speed of boat in still water be x mph

Resulting speed upstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 30 miles
Resulting speed downstream = x-4 mph for a distance of 50 miles

Time taken in both distances is equal.
Therefore,

30/(x-4) = 50/(x+4) => 30(x+4) = 50(x-4) => 30x+120 = 50x-200 => 120+200 = (50-30)x => 20x = 320 => x=320/20 = 16 mph

The speed of boat in still water is 16 mph.
