Lena and Jada are 40 miles apart on a path when they start moving toward each other. Elena runs at a constant speed of 10 miles per hour, and Jada walks at a constant speed of 6 miles per hour. How long does it take until Elena and Jada meet? Explain your reasoning. i need this ASAP if somone was right get and 5 star and heart :>

They will reach each other in 2 ours and half!

because, If Lena runs 10 miles per hour, And Elena 6 miles per hour add 10 and 6 to get 16 miles per hour and u subtract 16 out of 40 to get 24 and subtract again 16 and get 8 and since it takes 16 miles per hour, 16 divided by 2 is 8 miles left!! Good luck!

answer: the correct option is d.

explanation:

it is given that the triangle j'k'l' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle jkl using the origin as the center of dilation.

from the given graph it is noticed that k(4,8) and k'(2,4). let origin is defined by o and scale factor is defined by k, then

    (1)

distance formula,

put these values in equation (1).

therefore scale factor is     and option d is correct.
