Problem Analysis

We are given that a snail is crawling up a column with a height of 6 meters. During the day, it climbs up 4 meters, and during the night, it slides down 3 meters. We need to determine how long it will take for the snail to reach the top of the column.

Solution

To find the number of days it will take for the snail to reach the top of the column, we can calculate the number of cycles it will take for the snail to climb the remaining distance after each night.

Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. The snail climbs up 4 meters during the day. 2. At night, it slides down 3 meters. 3. The remaining distance to the top of the column after each night is 6 - 4 = 2 meters.

Since the snail climbs 2 meters each day, it will take 2/2 = 1 day to reach the top of the column.

Answer

The snail will take 1 day to reach the top of the column.

Explanation

The snail climbs 4 meters during the day and slides down 3 meters at night. After each night, the remaining distance to the top of the column is 2 meters. Therefore, it will take 1 day for the snail to climb the remaining 2 meters and reach the top of the column
