Lemon trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 8 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 11th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 30th tree?
- How far is the 5th tree from the 11th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 11th tree
= (11 - 1) x 8
= 10 x 8
= 80 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 30th tree
= (30 - 1) x 8
= 29 x 8
= 232 m
(c)
Distance between 5th tree from the 11th tree
= (11 - 5) x 8
= 6 x 8
= 48 m
Answer(s): (a) 80 m; (b) 232 m; (c) 48 m
