Question

Paul is filling his glass with water. So it doesn't spill, he fills it to 1/4 inch from the top of the glass. His glass is 3 inches across and 6 inches tall. How much water did Paul put in his glass? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

25 days. The math here boils down to a net gain of one foot per day, along with a threshold (24 feet at the beginning of a day) that must be attained so that the sloth can get to the 30-foot mark within a given day. After 24 days and 24 nights, the sloth is 24 feet up. On that 25th day, the sloth scrambles up six feet, attaining the 30-foot top of the pole. Left to the reader is a motivation for the sloth to attempt this feat in the first place. Perhaps there is something tasty atop the pole?
