Nina is bouncing on a trampoline. Her fourth bounce is 6 feet high. Each bounce afterwards is two-thirds as high as the bounce before it. How high will her sixth bounce on the trampoline be?

Multiply 6 by (2/3)^2, since there are only 2 bounces that follow after her fourth. Your answer is 6 * 4/9 = 24/9 = 8/3 = 2 2/3 feet high.
