Question

Sharon drops a rubber ball from a height of 48 feet. Every bounce sends the ball half as high as it was before.What is the total vertical (up and down) distance the ball has traveled, from the moment it is dropped to the moment it hits the floor for the fourth time?

Answer 1

First hit  it travels 48 ft
Second hit it travels  24 + 24 ft
third hit  12 + 12
4th hit  6 + 6 ft

Total =  48 + 48 + 24 + 12 =  132 ft Answer
