swings up to 12 ft. climbs up to 8 It. more than jumps
down 15 ft. How far off the ground the monkey now?

Answer 1

Answer: I believe the monkey would be 40ft off the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

• 40 ft (or 55 ft depending on wording)

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial position is:

• 35 ft

He swings up to 12 ft:

• 35 + 12 = 47 ft

Climbs up to 8 It. more:

• 47 + 8 = 55 ft

Then jumps down 15 ft:

• 55 - 15 = 40 ft

Note: The last two movements will be different according to wording, if it says "climbs up to 8 It. more than jumps down 15 ft", it translates as:

• 47 + 8 = 55 ft
