Mango trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 7 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 13th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 26th tree?
- How far is the 4th tree from the 13th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 13th tree
= (13 - 1) x 7
= 12 x 7
= 84 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 26th tree
= (26 - 1) x 7
= 25 x 7
= 175 m
(c)
Distance between 4th tree from the 13th tree
= (13 - 4) x 7
= 9 x 7
= 63 m
Answer(s): (a) 84 m; (b) 175 m; (c) 63 m
