Answer 2

Answer:

The cat need 10 steps to climb up

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time the cat

Climbs forward = 3 X 30cm = 90 cm (takes 3 steps)

Slips backward = 2 X 40cm = 80cm (takes 2 steps)

Total number of steps taken in each forward attempt = 3 steps + 2 steps = 5 steps

Effectively moves 10 cm forwards (90cm - 80cm = 10cm)

100cm/10cm = 10
