Question

A ball is dropped from a height of 32 feet. It bounces and rebounds 80% of the height from which it was falling. What is the total downward distance, in feet, the ball traveled up to the 12th bounce?.

Answer 1

Answer: 307.2 feet

Explanation:

80% of 32 = 25.6

Multiply the 25.6 by 12 to calculate the total feet it had traveled.

25.6 x 12 = 307.2

Don't forget to add the unit. In this case, "feet" would be the unit.
