Answer: 0.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

When The ball bounces the first time it goes 5 meters up. In The second bounce it goes 2.5 Meters. And Then In The 3rd bounce it goes up 1.25 Meters. And Then in the forth Bounce it goes up 0.625 Meters. And In The FINAL Bounce It Goes up 0.3125 Meters = to 31.25 Cm - just extra information

Formula For This is

To Divide 10 by Two 5 Times

10   ÷ 2 = 5

5  ÷ 2 = 2.5

2.5  ÷ 2 = 1.25

1.25  ÷ 2 = 0.625

0.625  ÷ 2 = 0.3125
