Answer: The 5th day
Step-by-step explanation:
Total daily movement :
Upward movement = 8cm
Downward movement = 15mm
Converting the upward movement to millimeters ; 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
Upward movement = 8 × 10 = 80 millimeters
Daily movement can beodelled using the equation :
Distance = (80mm - 15mm)h
Where h is the number of days
Movement per day = 65mm
To move a distance of 275mm from its starting position:
Number of days = 275mm/ 65mm
Number of days = 4.23
Therefore the snail would have moved 275 millimeters from its starting point on the 5th day
