In a billiards game, Pete hits a ball that is 20in. from a wall. The ball travels 34 in. until it hits the wall and bounces to a position that is 16 in. from the wall. What proportion can be used to find the distance, x, the ball traveled after it bounces off the wall to get to the ending position? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY!

options

34/x =20/16

20/16 = 34/x

16/20 = x/34

20/16 = x/34
