Answer 1

Compared to the first student, the second student did twice as much work as the first student.

Step-by-step explanation:

The work done by the first student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by one mile (Distance). The work done by the second student will be equal to the Force exerted by the backpack on the student carrying it multiplied by two miles (Distance).
