8. A flea wants to jump from the bottom to the top of a staircase that has 10 steps. He can either jump 3 steps up or 4 steps down. What is the smallest number of jumps he must make?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

3 + 3 + 3 - 4 - 4 + 3 + 3 + 3

It takes a minimum of 8 jumps to land exactly on the 10th step.

sorry, i don't know i just need points, i'm new here. chao

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
