    The number of ways can you win first prize and your mom win second is 1/56 ways.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of people entered the contest = 8 people

    Total number of prices awarded=3 prizes

    Therefore the total number of ways in which 3 prizes can be awarded = 8*7*6 = 336 ways

    The number of ways in which you can win first prize and your monm can win the second prize is = 1*1*6 = 6 ways

    So, by probability to find the ways with which you can win the first prize and mom can win the second prize can be calculated as = 6/336 = 1/56
