An engineer designed a ball so that when it was dropped, it rose with each bounce exactly one-half as high as it had fallen. The engineer dropped the ball from a 16-meter platform and caught it after it had traveled 46.5 meters. How many times did the ball bounce?
Answers:	A) 5	B) 6	C) 7	D) 8	E) 9
Going down = 16 m   Going Up = 8 --&gt; Total = 24   Going down = 8 --&gt; Total = 32   Going Up = 4 --&gt; Total = 36   Going down = 4 --&gt; Total = 40   Going up = 2 --&gt; Total = 42   Going down = 2 --&gt; Total = 44   Going up = 1 --&gt; Total = 45   Going down = 1 --&gt; Total = 46   Going up = 0.5 --&gt; Total = 46.5 (Caught)   No of going downs = 5 ..   5NSWER:5
