Last week I decided to bicycle to my Grandmother’s house.
On the first day, I bicycled half of the distance.
On day 2, I bicycled one half of the remaining distance.
On day 3, I bicycled three quarters of the remaining distance.
On day 4, I bicycled 10 miles.
On day 5 I bicycled two thirds of the remaining distance and on
the final day I bicycled the remaining 5 miles.
How far is it to my Grandmother’s house?
