Answer:
That is a 45-45-90 triangle next to a 30-60-90 triangle.
So, the height of the left triangle equals 5.
That makes the short side of the 30-60-90 triangle also equal to 5.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse (or "x") is exactly twice the length of the shortest side.
Therefore, the hypotenuse (or "x") equals 10.
Step-by-step explanation:

Rate = 40/16 = 10/4 = 5/2 = 2.5 meters/second
Unit rate = ratio where denominator is 1 = 2.5/1 meters/second

Exact form- 7/2
Decimal form- 3.5
Mixed number form- 3 1/2
I hope that helps!!!
