Question

Megan is one of the cheerleaders in her school. To prepare for the forthcoming Cheer Dance Competition, her coach is teaching them how to control their pom-poms when throwing them up into the air. One exercise is to toss the pom-poms twice as high as the previous toss from the top of their heads. If Megan is able to throw her pom-poms 2 feet above her head during her first toss, how high above her head should her fourth toss be? (problem solving)

Answer 1

16 feet

Explanation:

her first try is 2 and you multiply by 2 every time so her first would be 2 which we would multiply to get 4 which we would multiply again to get 8 which we would multiply AGAIN to get the final answer of 16
