Orange trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 4 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 15th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 27th tree?
- How far is the 7th tree from the 15th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 15th tree
= (15 - 1) x 4
= 14 x 4
= 56 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 27th tree
= (27 - 1) x 4
= 26 x 4
= 104 m
(c)
Distance between 7th tree from the 15th tree
= (15 - 7) x 4
= 8 x 4
= 32 m
Answer(s): (a) 56 m; (b) 104 m; (c) 32 m
