Pomegranate trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 5 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 11th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 20th tree?
- How far is the 7th tree from the 11th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 11th tree
= (11 - 1) x 5
= 10 x 5
= 50 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 20th tree
= (20 - 1) x 5
= 19 x 5
= 95 m
(c)
Distance between 7th tree from the 11th tree
= (11 - 7) x 5
= 4 x 5
= 20 m
Answer(s): (a) 50 m; (b) 95 m; (c) 20 m
