Question

Bruce has a pet worm that fell into a well. The well is 26 feet deep. Each day,

the worm climbs up 8 feet, but each night, it slides back down 2 feet. How
many days will it take for Bruce's worm to get to the top of the well?

Answer 1

3 and 1/2 a day

Explanation:

first we begin with a sequence.

8 up 2 down

26-8 = 18 +2 =20

20-8+2 =14

14-8+2=8

8-8

we would not add/subtract 2 because he is out of the well

3 and 1/2 days.
