  2. Problem A A basketball is dropped from a height of 200 cm. It bounced a solid surface to a height than can be expressed as the drop height divided by 2. What is the final bounce height? Problem Solving 200 ÷2 = 100 Drop height 200 cm Bounce height 100 cm

  3. Problem B Calculate what the bounce height will be if the ball is dropped from half the original height in the previous question. Problem Solving 100÷2 =50 100 cm Drop height 50 cm Bounce height

  4. Problem C A super bouncy ball was recently advertised as being able to bounce very high. After dropping it from a height of 25 meters, the ball lost only 25% of its starting height. To what height did the ball bounce? Problem Solving Simplify 25/100 to 25= 25/4. Then divide the 25/4= 6.25m. Lastly subtract the drop height 25m to 6.25 m. Final answer= 18.75m Drop Height 25 meters drop height 18.75 meters Bounce Height

  5. Extension Question If a super bouncy ball loses 50% of its start height on every bounce, how many bounces will it take before it bounces less than a centimetre if it is dropped from 100cm Problem Solving Divide the drop height 100 cm by 2 and divide the answer by 2 also. Keep doing this until you reach under 1 cm 100 cm Drop Height 7 bounces until less than 1 cm
