Answer:
C. 8 bounces
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you can write an equation before turning it into an inequality:
y = 212*(1/2^x)
(x is bounces, y is height)
Now you can change it into an inequality to fit the height of less than 1:
1 > 212*(1/2^x)
In order for the right side of the equation to be less than 1, 2^x must be greater than 212 (because 212*(1/212) is 1, so if the denominator is greater, it'll be less than 1). 2^8 is 256, which is greater than 212, so that means x is 8.
Because x represents bounces, that means the ball's height will be under 1 foot after 8 bounces.
