Pomegranate trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 8 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 10th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 26th tree?
- How far is the 5th tree from the 10th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 10th tree
= (10 - 1) x 8
= 9 x 8
= 72 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 26th tree
= (26 - 1) x 8
= 25 x 8
= 200 m
(c)
Distance between 5th tree from the 10th tree
= (10 - 5) x 8
= 5 x 8
= 40 m
Answer(s): (a) 72 m; (b) 200 m; (c) 40 m
