"stair steps"

if a boy has to climb ten steps and he can climb either one or two steps at a time, how many ways can he use to climb the steps?

Please help me with the equation.

1. "RE: stair steps"
In response to message #0

It's one of the two:

1. We may do that a step at a time. If there were 4, 5, 6 steps,
might you be able to answer your question?

2. You may jump to the question of pay phone change in the High
School forum and figure out its relevance to your problem.

All the best,
Alexander Bogomolny
