I keep getting this answer wrong please help!!

Step-by-step explanation:

They closed the 200 mile distance in 2.5 hours, so the sum of their speeds was ...

  (200 mi)/(2.5 h) = 80 mi/h

If s is the speed of the slower one, then ...

  s + (s+20) = 80

  2s = 60

  s = 30

The slower wander's speed was 30 mph; the faster one's was 50 mph.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
