a snail climbs 20meters tall tree.everyday,he climbs 5m up and slip 2m down in. how many days will he clib the tree"
Please put your school subject in the School Subject box.
+5 - 2 = +3 per day
x = number of days
3x = 20
x = 6.67 days or 7 days
To calculate the number of days it will take for the snail to climb the 20-meter tall tree, we need to determine how many times the snail completes its cycle of climbing and slipping.
Each cycle consists of climbing up 5 meters and slipping down 2 meters, which means the snail progresses by 3 meters for each cycle (5 - 2 = 3).
To reach the top of the tree, the snail needs to cover a distance of 20 meters. Therefore, we divide the total distance by the distance covered in each cycle:
20 meters / 3 meters = 6.67 cycles.
Since the snail cannot complete a fraction of a cycle, we round up to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, it will take the snail 7 days to climb the 20-meter tall tree.
To find out how many days it will take for the snail to climb the tree, we need to determine how many times it climbs up and slips down until it reaches the top of the tree.
Let's break down the snail's progress each day:
- Distance climbed each day = 5 meters
- Distance slipped down each day = 2 meters
So, the snail's progress each day is 5 - 2 = 3 meters.
To reach the top of a 20-meter tree, the snail would need to climb an additional 20 - 5 = 15 meters.
Now, let's calculate the number of days it takes for the snail to reach the top:
- Distance snail needs to climb = 15 meters
- Distance climbed each day = 3 meters
Number of days = Distance snail needs to climb / Distance climbed each day
Number of days = 15 meters / 3 meters = 5 days
Therefore, it will take the snail 5 days to climb the tree.
