A ball dropped from a height of 10 feet bounces back 9/10 of that distance. With each successive bounce, the ball continues to reach 9/10 of its previous height.

What is the total vertical distance (both up and down) traveled by the ball when it stops bouncing? (Hint: Add the total distance the ball falls to the total distance it rises.)

Total distance = 10 *   (10+9)/(10-9)  = 10 * 19 = 190 ft
