Question

A bug crawls up a pole 2in. in 2min., then slips down 1in. in 1min,, then crawls up 2in. in 2min., and so on. At this rate, how long will it take the bug to reach the height of 10in.

Answer 1

Answer: It would take the bug 26min to clime the pole

Step-by-step explanation: For me I drew a pole and labeled it like a number line.

1. use or make a number line and plot 0-10 on it.

2. jump 2 points from 0 on the number line

3. Jump backwards once to make the equation accurate

4. plot the times it takes along the way to find the answer until you get to 10
