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....
