A ball is dropped from a height of 24 meters. With each bounce, the ball reaches a height that is half the height of the previous bounce. How far has the ball travelled by the time it comes to the rest?

I has traveled 24+(2x12)+(2x6)+(2x3)+(2x1.5)+(2x0.75)=70.5m if it comes to rest after its bounce that reached 0.75 meters.
