Use the problem solving process discussed to solve the follo

Use the problem solving process discussed to solve the following problems. You should show work for each of the four steps. The monkey and the tree: A monkey attempts to climb a 100 foot high tree. Every minute, the monkey climbs upward three feet but slips back two. How long does It take for the monkey to reach the top?

98 Minutes monkey will reach to the top.

1 Minute = 3 feet up and 2 feel slip back means 1 feet every minute.
