To solve the problem of finding the total distance a ball travels after being dropped from a height of 120 meters and rebounding to \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the height from which it fell, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Initial Drop:** The ball is dropped from a height of 120 meters. This is the first distance traveled. \[ \text{Distance}_1 = 120 \text{ meters} ...
