bruce has a pet worm that fell into a well. the well is 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 for bruce’s worm to get to the top of the well

In 24 hours, the worm climbs 5 feet.

7-2= 5 (the worm falls 2 feet every night)


So,

5*8=40 

It will take bruce's worm about 8 days to get to the top of the well. 

I hope this helps!
