Bruce has a pet worm that fell into a well. the well was 37 feet deep. each day, the worm climbs up 7 feet, but each night, it slides back down 2 feet. how many days will it take bruce's worm to get to the top of the well?

It will take the worm 7 days to get to the top of the well.

Step-by-step explanation:

the well is 37 feet deep

the worm climbs up 7 feet, but loses 2 feet through the night

That means the worm only really climbs 5 feet a day.

So, if you subtract 5 from 37, 6 times, you'll get 7 feet left to go. And sense the worm climbs 7 feet a day, the last day the worm will climb his way to the top without slipping back down.

Hopefully this makes sense.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
