Question

a snail's on the Everage Creeps 75 cm of up a vertical pole during 12 hours in the night and slips down 40 cm during 12 hours in the day .in what short time will it reach the top of the pole of 5 m 5 cm height

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: I have two answers.. check which is right

82.4 hours

or

88 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If the question was how long will it take to climb the rest of the poIe this is the answer

snails current position is (75-40) = 35cm

time taken to climb 75 cm = 12 hours

so one hour can also be written as 60 min

so time taken to climb 1 cm= 12*60/75

= 720/75     =    9.6

so to climb 5.15 m it takes

9.6*515 = 4944

so it takes 4944 min to climb the rest of the poIe

so therefore it takes

4944/60 hrs to climb.... ie

82.4 hrs

.

If the question was how long it takes to climb the complete poIe the answer will be

(steps are same from above till time taken to climb 1 cm)

so we know it takes 9.6 min.  so

time taken to climb the poIe will be

The height of the poIe * time taken to climb a cm

so convert 5.5 m to cm and it will be 550 cm

therefore we get the equation

550*9.6=  5280 min

and time taken(in hours) will be

5280/60   = 88 hours

So it takes 88 hours to climb the complete
