Dear sir/madam/friend,
A mountain goat attempts to scale a cliff sixty feet high. Every minute, the goat bounds upward three feet but slips back two. How long does it take for the goat to reach the top?The answer I got is wrong. The correct answer is
58 min .Although his net progress each minute is one foot, he reaches the top on the fifty eighth minute just before he would normally slip back two feet.
please check whether this is correct. needed urgently for tommorow's exam

The total distance = 60 feet
The Net Distance covered in 1 minute = 3 - 2
= 1 feet.
1 feet = 1 min
60 feet = 1 x 60 = 60 mins
Answer: It takes 60 mins
