Question

Zeno jumped 8 meters. Then he jumped half as far again (4 meters). Then he jumped half as far again (2 meters). So after 3 jumps, he was 8+4+2=14 meters from his starting place. 1. Zeno kept jumping half as far again. How far would he be after 4 jumps? 5 jumps? 6 jumps?

Answer 1

15, 15.5,15.75

Explanation:

if Zeno kept jumping half as far then after 4 jumps he would be 15 meters from his starting place.

if Zeno jumped half as far again he would be 15.5 meters from his starting place because 1 divided by 2 is 0.5 and you add that to jumps 1, 2, 3, and 4 and that would be 15.5

if Zeno jumped half as far again he would be 15.75 meters from his starting place because 0,5 divided by 2 is 0.25 and you add that to jumps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and that would be 15.75

Answer 2

1m 0.5m and 0.25m respectively
