A ball is dropped from a height of 10 feet and returns to a height that is one-half of the height from which it fell. The ball continues to bounce half the height of the previous bounce each time. How far will the ball have traveled when it hits the ground for the fourth time?

no no no melody!!! he or she is only looking for the answer! not just how you did it.

10-5 (1)

5-2.5 (2)

2.5-1.25 (3)

1.25-.625 (4)

add it all up and heres the stupid answer:

5+2.5+1.25+.625=9.375

overall, the ball traveled 9.375 ft

poor melody! poor misguided melody.

that's why you always listen to Titanium!

You are an obnoxious titanium a*s-hole.

 

You will find out soon enough what it's like to be invisible and muted.  You will be a titanium a*s-hole ghost!
