Orange trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 5 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 12th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 30th tree?
- How far is the 4th tree from the 12th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 12th tree
= (12 - 1) x 5
= 11 x 5
= 55 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 30th tree
= (30 - 1) x 5
= 29 x 5
= 145 m
(c)
Distance between 4th tree from the 12th tree
= (12 - 4) x 5
= 8 x 5
= 40 m
Answer(s): (a) 55 m; (b) 145 m; (c) 40 m
