[<The Explanation>}:

Sally has pet snail that fell into a well.

(Depth of the well = 16 feet)

Snail climbs up 5 feet but each night it slides back down 4 feet.

So the snail climbs up per day = 5 feet - 4 feet = 1 feet.

Number of days snail took to reach at 11 feet = 11 × 1 = 11 feet

Remaining distance to cover by the snail = 16 - 11 = 5 feet

Number of days to cover remaining 5 feet to reach the top of the well = 1 day

Therefore, snail will take 12 days to reach the top of the well.
