I'll do it for you shall I
1200/72 = 16.66666666666666666666666666667
15000/900 = 16.66666666666666666666666666667

The 16.6.....7 is Hubbles constant its just the simple matter of rearranging the formula.

to find the distance of Hydra just 60000/6.666666666666667= 3600

to find the velocity of Perseus just do 400x16.66666667= 6666.666666...7

if you need any further help just ask!

Come on you should at least have given him something to work out rather than doing it for him
