An insect is on the 0 point of a number line, hopping towards 1. She covers half the distance from her current location to 1 with each hop. So, she will be at `1/2` after one hop, `3/4` after two hops, and so on.

- Make a table showing the insect’s location for the first 10 hops.
- Where will the insect be after n hops?
- Will the insect ever get to 1? Explain.
