Answer 4

There is a common ratio of 2/3 between the height of the ball at each bounce. So, the bounce heights form a geometric sequence: 27, 18, 12. Two-thirds of 12 is 8, so on the fourth bounce, the ball will reach a height of 8 feet.

Answer 5

There is a common ratio between bounce heights.
Multiply 12 by 2/3.
The height on the fourth bounce is 8 feet.
