Question 4 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II B
Each fall is two-thirds of the previous fall: 64.8 ÷ 97.2 = 2/3 and 43.2 ÷ 64.8 = 2/3. The next two falls are 43.2 × 2/3 = 28.8 feet and 28.8 × 2/3 = 19.2 feet. Adding the five downward distances gives 97.2 + 64.8 + 43.2 + 28.8 + 19.2 = 253.2 feet, so the total is 253.2 ft.
