Question
A worm up a wall 20 feet high. Each day he climbs 5 feet at night he slips down 4 feet. How many days will it take the snail to get to the top of the wall. Thanks help!

Ms. Sue
Day 1: 0 + 5 - 4 = 1 foot
Day 2: 1 + 1 = 2 feet
And so on.
However -- watch what happens on day 15.
Day 2: 1 + 1 = 2 feet
