Persimmon trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 4 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 10th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 30th tree?
- How far is the 5th tree from the 10th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 10th tree
= (10 - 1) x 4
= 9 x 4
= 36 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 30th tree
= (30 - 1) x 4
= 29 x 4
= 116 m
(c)
Distance between 5th tree from the 10th tree
= (10 - 5) x 4
= 5 x 4
= 20 m
Answer(s): (a) 36 m; (b) 116 m; (c) 20 m
