Lemon trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 6 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 13th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 24th tree?
- How far is the 4th tree from the 13th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 13th tree
= (13 - 1) x 6
= 12 x 6
= 72 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 24th tree
= (24 - 1) x 6
= 23 x 6
= 138 m
(c)
Distance between 4th tree from the 13th tree
= (13 - 4) x 6
= 9 x 6
= 54 m
Answer(s): (a) 72 m; (b) 138 m; (c) 54 m
