Answer:

The answer would be 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The class dropped the ball from 40 feet than after the ball bounced again it went to 20 feet than after the 2nd bounce it went to 10 feet and the pattern so far goes 40, 20, and 10. We need to find the common pattern of these 3 numbers and find the 4th number or x so to find the 4th number you can see that if you divide every number by 10 than you will get 4, 2, and 1 which you can see when divided by 2 every time goes to the next number so 4 divided  by 2 is 2 and 2 divided by 2 is 1 so we can assume 1 divided by 2 will be x divided by 10 so 1/2 is 0.5 so x divided by 10 is equal to 0.5 so the equation would be \frac{x}{10} =0.5 so we could multiply by 10 on both sides so we would get x = 5 so the final answer would be 5.
