Answer:

Never!

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each succeeding step is exactly 1/2 of the prior step, you have created an infinite geometric series that goes like 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4... The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series is a/(1-r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Plugging this in, a/(1-r) = 4(1-1/2) = 4/(1/2) = 8. Therefore, you can only travel 8 feet in total and will never! reach the wall.

What number is between 3.16 and 3.17?
VladimirAG [237]
There are multiple answers to this question
Answers: 3.161, 3.162, 3.163, 3.164, 3.165, 3.166, 3.167, 3.168, 3.169
(You can just pick one)

Reason: just look at the place numbers. The number has to be between 3.16 and 3.17. So go to the next place value which is the thousandths place. 3.161-3.169 all are between since they have a 6 in the hundredths place, but does not go over 1.17
