Answer:

s = 18 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

At downstream, time is; t = 11/(s+ 4)

At upstream, time is; t = 7/(s - 4)

Since they both are passed in the same time, then ;

11/(s+ 4) = 7/(s - 4)

Cross Multiply to get;

11(s - 4) = 7(s + 4)

11s - 44 = 7s + 28

11s - 7s = 44 + 28

4s = 72

s = 72/4

s = 18

Answer:

down below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 4% of 120 = 4.8, so 120+4.8 = 124.8 cm tall

2) 12% of 6000 = 720 .  6000-720 = 5280 gallons

3) 22% of 200 = 44 . 200-44 = 156

4) 30% of 40 - 12 .   40 - 12 = $28

5) 35% of 140 = $49 .  140 + 49 = $189

Hello there,

From Point C he didn't move in distance but the hours moved so c is out.

From Point C to Point D, Peter traveled roughly 180 miles in 3 hours.

Therefore D Peter had the fastest interval at D.
