Answer:

- <u>She should aim 6 feet down the wall</u>
Explanation:
The diagram attached sketches the situtation.
Since the angle with which the ball hits the wall is the same with which it bounces, angle β is the same for the two shown triangles.
Then, since both are right triangles, then all the angles are congruent and the triangles are similar. Hence, you can equal the ratios of the sides, to make an equation:
- x/4 = y/2 ⇒ x = 2y
You have other equation:
- x+ y = 18
Substitute
- 2y + y = 18
- 3y = 18
- y = 18/3
- y = 6 ← this is the distance down the wall where the ball should hit
- x = 2(6) = 12
Then, she should aim 6 feet down the wall.
Answer:
472 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the meaning of "one, and one more". That does not mean zero (1-1). Rather, it means two (1+1).
__
Then 3/4 and 472 more is ...
Eric has 472 3/4 buckets filled with sand.
_____
The problem statement here seems to be focused on the filled buckets, rather than the sand stockpile that Eric is working from. The amount in that stockpile is being reduced by the amount that is being used to fill buckets. In short, whether you add or subtract depends on what you're trying to figure.
