+3 [ft / hour] - 2 [ft / hour] = 1 [ft / hour]
30 [ft] / 1 [ft / hour] = 30 [ft] * 1 [hour / ft]
=30 hours
30 [hours] * 1 [day] / 24 [hours]
= (30 / 24 * 1) [days] * [hours/hours]
=1.25 days

The frog climbs 3ft and slips back 2ft. the frog actually climbs 1 ft per hour. so it will take the frog 30 hours to climb the 30ft wall. Or 1day (24Hours) plus 6 hours

The first answer is correct, because the frog won't slip back again once he reaches the top, but you asked for the answer in days, not hours, so 28 hours equals 1 1/6 days.

1 1/6 days
after 27 hrs he's at 27 ft.
after 1 more hour he climbs 3 ft and is out.
28 hrs. = 1 day 4 hrs., and you asked for the number of days, which is 1 1/6
Its very interesting to see that people continue to answer incorrectly when this correct answer exists. They must not read the other answers.

Effectively he is climbing at 1 ft per hour. after 27 hours he is at 27 feet. At 28 hours he leaps 3 feet and gets out over the edge of the wall, there is no sliding back now.

3ft - 2ft = 1ft
1ft made in 1 hour
30 feet = 30 hours
1.25 days or 1 day and 6 hours
