Answer:

B. 24/5

Explanation:

QR = 10

QT = 6

HI = 8

Quadrilateral QRST ~ quadrilateral HIJK, therefore, their corresponding side lengths would be proportional to each other.

This:

QR/HI = QT/HK

Plug in the values

10/8 = 6/HI

Cross multiply

10*HI = 8*6

10*HI = 48

Divide both sides by 10

HI = 48/10

HI = 24/5
