distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.
Here,
time = (1000 miles) / (124.51222 mph) = 0.125 hour = (1/8 hour)
Using the arrangements formula, it is found that there are 240 ways for the students to sit.
<h3>What is the arrangements formula?</h3>
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:
.
In this problem:
- The 2 students can sit in 2! ways, in 5 positions(1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4, 4 and 5 or 5 and 6).
- The remaining 4 students can sit in 4! ways.
Hence:
T = 5 x 2! x 4! = 240.
There are 240 ways for the students to sit.
