Answer:
The caterpillar will reach the top of the tree in 15 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a caterpillar is trying to climb a tree which 15m tall.
According to the problem, it climbs 5m. during the day and comes down 4m. at night.
Therefore, the net distance climbed by the caterpillar in a day is (5 - 4)m = 1m.
1m. can be climbed by the caterpillar in 1 day.
Therefore, 15 m. can be climbed by the caterpillar in (1 * 15) days = 15 days.
Hence, the caterpillar will reach the top of the tree in 15 days.
