In 15 hours

That or 13 hours, if we don’t include the fall back for the last one tho I highly doubt that so go with 15

The spider needs 15 hours to climb up the top of the wall.

What is a word problem?

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

A spider is trying to climb a wall of height = 15 meters

In each hour, it climbs up 3 meters but falls back 2 meters,

⇒ [tex]+3-2=1[/tex]

Thus spider climbs 1 meter per hour.

For 15 meter wall, the spider needs 15 hours to climb up the wall.

Hence we can conclude that the spider needs 15 hours to climb up the top of the wall.
