A hot piece of brass (c = 380 J/kg˚C) is placed in water (c = 4180 J/kg˚C) to cool. The final temperature of the “mixture” will be closer to the initial temperature of which substance? Explain.

Distance covered = speed x timethe distance traveled going against the stream = distance traveled with the stream.therefore it is the speed and the time that are the variables.as he travels the same distance both ways, speed x time is the same for each way.going upstream his speed is 4 kph; going downstream his speed is 6 kph.therefore we have two simultaneous equations: time upstream x 4 = time downstream x 6time upstream + time downstream = 60 minutestherefore we have the equation: time upstream = 6/10 hour, time downstream therefore = 4/10 hour.distance traveled at 4km/hr in 6/10 hour = 24/10 = 2.4km.check: distance traveled at 6km/hr in 4/10 hour = 24/10 = 2.4km.

Iwould say i also took the quiz but it didn't show me if i got it correct or not.
