Mila is doing an experiment with a bouncy ball. She measures the height of its first and second bounces. The first bounce measures 1 1/2 m, On the second bounce, the ball goes 1/2 as high as the first bounce.
How high does the ball go on the second bounce?
1. 2 m
2. 1 m
3. 1/4 m
4. 3/4 m
The height of the second bounce is 1/2 * 1 1/2 m = 3/4 m.
So, the answer is 4. 3/4 m.
To find out how high the ball goes on the second bounce, we need to find 1/2 of the height of the first bounce.
The height of the first bounce is 1 1/2 m.
To find 1/2 of 1 1/2 m, we multiply 1/2 by 1 1/2.
1/2 * 1 1/2 = (1/2) * (3/2) = 3/4 m.
Therefore, the ball goes 3/4 m high on the second bounce.
The correct answer is option 4: 3/4 m.
To find the height of the ball on the second bounce, we need to calculate 1/2 of the height of the first bounce.
Given that the first bounce measures 1 1/2 m, we can convert this to an improper fraction:
1 1/2 = (1 * 2 + 1)/2 = 3/2
Now, to find half of the height of the first bounce, we multiply the height (3/2) by 1/2:
(3/2) * (1/2) = 3/4
Therefore, the ball goes 3/4 m high on the second bounce.
So the correct answer is:
4. 3/4 m
