Givens
Downstream
d = 4.48 miles
t = 0.32 hours.
c = ??

Upstream
d = 4.48 miles
t = 0.56 miles
c = ??
r_boat =??
Equations.
Since the distances are the same, you can equate the distances and come back to them later.
d = r*t
(r - c) * 0.56 = (r + c) * 0.32 This will give you r in terms of c. Notice the minus sign on the left. It's there because the current is going against you, slowing you down.
Remove brackets
0.56r - 0.56c = 0.32r + 0.32c Add 0.56c to both sides.
0.56r = 0.32r + 0.32c + 0.56c
0.56r = 0.32r + 0.88c Subtract 0.32r from both sides.
0.56r - 0.32r = 0.88c
0.24r = 88c Divide by 0.24
r = 0.88/0.24 c
r = 3 2/3 c
Now we have enough information to solve for c
4.48/(r + c) = 0.32
4.48 = 0.32 * (r + c) Substitute r = 3 2/3c into this equation.
4.48 = 0.32 * (3 2/3c + c) Add c and 3 2/3c together.
4.48 = 0.32 * (4 2/3c) Change 4 2/3 to 14/3
4.48 = 0.32 * 14/3 c
4.48 = (4.48 / 3 ) * c
4.48 = 1.493333333 c Divide 4.48 by 1.493333333
c = 4.48 / 1.4933333
c = 3 mph <<<<<<<<<<<<<<Answer

Answer:
Answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: D. a heuristic.
Step-by-step explanation: Heuristic is the use of simple mental shortcuts to solve problems and make decisions quickly and efficiently without spending a lot of time thinking about the problem and how to solve it.
In this case, Tim uses the simple trick of reminding himself that "i" comes before "e" except after "c", without spending time to actually remember or memorize the correct spelling of the word.
