A worm climbing up a high wall went 15m on one day but slipped back by 3m 85cm in the evening. How far up had the warm reached that day?
How far up had the warm reached that day?
well, you said that "A worm climbing up a high wall went 15m on one day"
so, I guess 15 meters, eh?
Of course, you may want to subtract the 3.85m it slipped back, but that's not clear from what you said...
To find out how far up the worm had reached, you need to subtract the distance it slipped back from the distance it climbed.
Distance climbed by the worm = 15m
Distance slipped back by the worm = 3m 85cm
First, convert 3m 85cm to meters. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can convert 85cm to meters by dividing it by 100.
85cm ÷ 100 = 0.85m
Now, subtract the distance slipped back from the distance climbed.
15m - 0.85m = 14.15m
Therefore, the worm had reached a height of 14.15 meters on that day.
To find out how far up the worm had reached that day, we need to subtract the distance it slipped back from the distance it climbed.
The worm climbed 15m on one day, but slipped back by 3m 85cm.
First, we need to convert 3m 85cm into meters. There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter, so 85cm is equal to 0.85m. Therefore, the worm slipped back by 3m + 0.85m = 3.85m.
Now, we can subtract 3.85m from 15m to find out how far up the worm had reached.
15m - 3.85m = 11.15m
Therefore, the worm had reached a height of 11.15 meters on that day.
