Orange trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 7 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 14th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 24th tree?
- How far is the 5th tree from the 14th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 14th tree
= (14 - 1) x 7
= 13 x 7
= 91 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 24th tree
= (24 - 1) x 7
= 23 x 7
= 161 m
(c)
Distance between 5th tree from the 14th tree
= (14 - 5) x 7
= 9 x 7
= 63 m
Answer(s): (a) 91 m; (b) 161 m; (c) 63 m
