The lion travels at 50x miles, x being the hours. The elephant is 25x.
50x = 200
25x = 200
x = 4 hours for the lion to finish.
x = 8 hours for the elephant to finish
according to this linear equation, there would have to be no race, or a race of 0 miles for them to finish the same. But obviously races of 0 miles dont exist, so there would not be a race.
