I am cutting a string that is 20 feet long into halfs each time . So i have

A table that goes
X/y
0/20
1/10
2/5
3/2.5

How do i write the function for it to show the number of cuts i did .

I know my starting point is 20 but its not multiplying its dividing

F(x)= 20 ( ?) ^×-1

dividing is just multiplying by a fraction, right?
