A+B+C=500
A=20+B
C=1/2 B      
so (20+B)+B+ 1/2 B=500
2.5B=480
B=192
A=20+192=212
C=1/2 of 192=96

Sam Snail is at the bottom of a pipe 30 feet deep. He can crawl three feet up each day, but each night he slides back two feet.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

It will take 30 days to reach the top of the 30-foot deep pipe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's track Sam Snail's movement each day:

Day 1 -

0 + 3 - 2 = 1

Day 2 -

1 + 3 - 2 = 2

Day 3 -

2 + 3 - 2 = 3

Day 4 -

3 + 3 - 2 = 4

Day ...

We can see that the day always matches up with the height on the pipe. This means for the snail to have traveled 30 feet, he needs to have spent 30 days with a constant rate of movement.

Hope this helps!
