Water along the Mississippi River is rising at a rate of 24.8 cm/hr. The top of a dock in the river currently sits only 1.2 meters above the water. How many hours will it take the water to reach the top of the dock

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Given

Distance = 1.2m = 0.012cm

Speed = 24.8cm/hr

Get the time;

Time = 0.012/24.8

Time = 4.84*10^-4hours

Hence it will take the water 4.84*10^-4hours to reach the top of the dock

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
