6 During a hot summer week, the water level in Wei's pool decreased by 1.9 centimeters. Wei added water to the pool, increasing the level by 3.5 centimeters. During the next week, the water level decreased by 2.4 centimeters. How does the new water level compare to the original water level? Show your work.

Greek Mythology Can the Greek hero Achilles, running at 20 feet per second, ever catch a tortoise, starting 20 feet ahead of Achilles and running at 10 feet per second? The Greek mathematician Zeno said no. When Achilles runs 20 feet, the tortoise will be 10 feet ahead. Then, when Achilles runs 10 feet, the tortoise will be 5 feet ahead. Achilles will keep cutting the distance in half but will never catch the tortoise. The table shows Zeno’s reasoning. In the table, both the distances and the times required to achieve them form infinite geometric series. Using the table, show that both series have finite sums. What do these sums represent?
