Math Riddle [for fun]

Answer 1

A cricket is making a series of jumps forward in the same direction. The first jump is 1/2 of a foot. The second jump is 1/4 of a foot. The third jump is 1/8 of a foot, etc, so each jump is 1/2 the length of the previous jump. How many jumps does it take for the cricket to jump 1 foot?
