Lemon trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 4 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 14th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 30th tree?
- How far is the 4th tree from the 14th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 14th tree
= (14 - 1) x 4
= 13 x 4
= 52 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 30th tree
= (30 - 1) x 4
= 29 x 4
= 116 m
(c)
Distance between 4th tree from the 14th tree
= (14 - 4) x 4
= 10 x 4
= 40 m
Answer(s): (a) 52 m; (b) 116 m; (c) 40 m
