Q: Tim drops a ball off the roof of a 96-foot tall building. The ball bounces to half the height from which it fell on each bounce. How high will it bounce on the fifth bounce?
A: On the first bounce, it will reach a height of 96 / 2 = 48 feet. On the second bounce, it will reach a height of 48 / 2 = 24 feet. On the third bounce, it will reach a height of 24 / 2 = 12 feet. On the fourth bounce, it will reach a height of 12 / 2 = 6 feet. On the fifth bounce, it will reach a height of 6 / 2 = 3 feet. The answer is 3.

[Question]Karen is considering her winter coat options. One coast costs $300 and will last for 15 years. The other coat costs $120 and will last for five years. How much money would Karen save over 30 years by buying the more expensive cost?
[Answer]First find the number of cheaper coats Karen will have to purchase over 30 years: 30 years / 5 years / coat = 6 coats. Then multiply that number by the cost of one cheaper coat to find the total cost of that option: 6 coats * $120 / coat = $720. Then find the number of more expensive coats Karen will have to purchase over 30 years: 30 years / 15 years / coat = 2 coats. Then multiply that number by the cost of one expensive coat to find the total cost of that option: 2 coats * $300 / coat = $600. Then subtract the total cost of the more expensive coats from the total cost of the less expensive coats to find the difference: $720 - $600 = $120. The answer is 120.
