Answer:
There are are 30 possible ways for the 6 students to be ranked 1st and 2nd
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 students, and any of them could receive first place. Therefore, there are 6 possibilities for first place.
A student cannot receive first and second place, so the student who won first place cannot also win second place. Therefore, there are only 5 students who could win second place.
We can multiply these two possibilities to find the number of possible rankings of 1st and 2nd
6*5=30
There are are 30 possible ways for the 6 students to be ranked 1st and 2nd....

To solve this problem let's use proportions.
If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, half the amount will cost half the dollars, so the last row will have $3 in the price
For the second row, we know the price is $1, that is, one-sixth of the original given price. It should correspond to one-sixth of the amount of grapes or 2/6 pounds.
Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/3 or 0.33 pounds
