Distance =  speed * time
Upstream
d = 5 * (x - 3)
Downstream
d = 3.5(x + 3)        where d = distance beween piers  and x =  speed of the boat
    Equating:-
5x - 15 = 3.5x + 10.5
1.5x = 25.5
so x =   17 mph 

so d = 5(17) - 15 = 85-15  = 70 miles Answer

9.5 miles, I think. (If not, I'm sorry!)

Jordan builds a miniature catapult for the science fair. He documents how far the catapult can throw a small rock for his report

The rate to convert yards to meters is

1 \text{ yard}=0.9144\text{ meters}

So, if you multiply both sides by 8, you get

8 \text{ yards} = 8\times 0.9144 = 7.3152 \text{ meters}

To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we need to choose between 7.3 and 7.4. Since the hundreths digit is 1, which is less than 5, 7.3 is nearest to 7.3152 than 7.4, so the correct answer is 7.3
