So we know that the word 'product' means multiplication, and that means that h and 4 are being multiplied. Also, one-fifth of x is another way of saying that one-fifth is being multiplied with x. So then we can construct the equation:

And we can then simplify this by taking out the multiplication sign:

And so since we do not know what x or h is equal to, this is as far as we can go.
Answer:
The comparision of an unknown physical quantity with a known standard quantity is measurement
Given :
a paddle boat travels upstream = 12 miles
a paddle boat travels downstream = 20 miles
speed of the current = 2 miles per hour
Let the speed of the boat =x
Let the time taken = t
We know the distance for upstream D= (boat speed - current speed) * time
the distance for downstream D= (boat speed + current speed) * time
Plug in all the values and variables in the distance
For upstream 12 = (x-2)t, then 
For downstream 20 = (x+2)t then 
we got two equations for t, equate it and solve for x

Cross multiply it
12(x+2) = 20(x-2)
12x + 24 = 20x - 40 (subtract 12x and add 40 on both sides)
64 = 8x
x= 8
the speed of the boat in still water = 8 miles per hour
