Mangosteen trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 3 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 13th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 27th tree?
- How far is the 7th tree from the 13th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 13th tree
= (13 - 1) x 3
= 12 x 3
= 36 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 27th tree
= (27 - 1) x 3
= 26 x 3
= 78 m
(c)
Distance between 7th tree from the 13th tree
= (13 - 7) x 3
= 6 x 3
= 18 m
Answer(s): (a) 36 m; (b) 78 m; (c) 18 m
