Mango trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 5 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 9th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 27th tree?
- How far is the 7th tree from the 9th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 9th tree
= (9 - 1) x 5
= 8 x 5
= 40 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 27th tree
= (27 - 1) x 5
= 26 x 5
= 130 m
(c)
Distance between 7th tree from the 9th tree
= (9 - 7) x 5
= 2 x 5
= 10 m
Answer(s): (a) 40 m; (b) 130 m; (c) 10 m
