Answer:
2 2/3 or 8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step I am guessing? (Is that what each question is for?)
STEP 1
First we have to find 1/3 of 23:
23/3= 1/3 of 23
Then:
5/1 = 15/3
STEP 2
Subtract:
23-15= 8/3
8/3 or 2 2/3
The height of the ball initially is 54 inches. The common ratio has been provided which is 0.750.
The explicit formular for the geometric sequence is shown as;

The explicit formula is shown as;
54 x (0.750)^9
The rest is simply to solve for the height on the 10th bounce
I suspect this is what you mean, if let me know
2x(3)^2+x(2)^2
2(3)(9)+3(4)
54+12=66
