Answer:

7 steps.

Explanation:

Since the monkey is sitting on the first step already you can subtract 9 by 1 to find the amount of steps left.

9-1 = 8 steps left

The monkey jumps 3 steps down

8-3= 5 steps

Then jumps 2 steps up

5 + 2 = 7 steps

The monkey has 7 more steps until he reaches the water level.
