Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Sally has  pet snail that fell into a well.

Depth of the well = 16 feet

Snail climbs up 5 feet but each night it slides back down 4 feet.

So the snail climbs up per day = 5 feet - 4 feet = 1 feet.

Number of days snail took to reach at 11 feet = 11 × 1 = 11 feet

Remaining distance to cover by the snail = 16 - 11 = 5 feet

Number of days to cover remaining 5 feet to reach the top of the well = 1 day

Therefore, snail will take 12 days to reach the top of the well.

Answer:

50 Minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function c approximates the total number of calls made after m minutes since the start of the phone tree.

c(m)=\frac{2}{3}\times (3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1)

We need to find the number of minutes after which the total number of calls will 363.

Substitute c(m)=363 in the given function.

363=\frac{2}{3}\times (3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1)

Multiply 3/2 both sides.

363\times \frac{3}{2}=(3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1)

242=3^{\frac{m}{10}}-1

Add 1 on both sides.

243=3^{\frac{m}{10}}

3^5=3^{\frac{m}{10}}

On comparing both sides we get

5=\frac{m}{10}

Multiply both sides by 10.

50=m

Therefore, the total number of calls will 363 after 50 minutes since the start of the phone tree.
