Michel, Jonathan, and two of their friends each ride their bikes to school. if they have an equally-likely chance of arriving first, what is the probability that Jonathan will arrive first and Michel will arrive second?

Johnathan has a 25% chance as there are 4 people currently in the "race" and Michel has a 33.3 repeating chance because there is only 3 boys left that need to get to the school. Meaning it's now a "race" between only 3 boys
