A family of 17 are trying to get back to their island for Christmas when disaster strikes – their ship hits a rock and will sink in 20 minutes! They have a rescue boat that fits 5 people and can get to the island and back with it in 9 minutes. How many people are able to reach the island without getting wet before the ship sinks?

10 people of the family can make it to the island. I hope this helps.
