To pass inspection, a new basketball should bounce back to between 68% and 75% of the starting height. A new ball is dropped from 6 feet and bounces back 4 feet 1 inch. Does the ball pass inspection? Explain

the answer, is yes. it does pass.

68 percent of 6 = 4.08
75 percent of 6 = 4.5

68 x cross multiply and divide. then add.
---- = -----
100 6

75 x cross multiply dive, and add.
----- = ------
100 6

the answer is yes. it passes.
