Suppose you drop a ball from a window 15 meters above the ground. The ball bounces to 60% of its previous height with each bounce. What is the total number of meters (rounded to the nearest tenth) the ball travels between the time it is dropped and the 10th bounce? 37.3 meters 378.6 meters 59.5 meters 63.4 meters

The didstance traveled  after 9 complete bounces 

 

 15 + 30(.6) [ 1 - .6^9] / (1 - .6]  =  59.54 m = 59.5m
