Question

A monkey sits on a limb that is 25 feet above the ground. He swings up 10 feet. Climbs up 6 feet more. Then jumps down 13 feet. How far off the ground is the monkey now?

Answer 1

28 feet

Explanation:

A monkey sits on a limb that is 25 feet above the ground

He swings up 10 feet

Climbs up 6 feet

He then jumps down 13 feet

Therefore the distance of the monkey from the ground can be calculated as follows

= 25 + 10 +6 - 13

= 41-13

= 28 feet
