Pomegranate trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 8 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 13th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 26th tree?
- How far is the 7th tree from the 13th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 13th tree
= (13 - 1) x 8
= 12 x 8
= 96 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 26th tree
= (26 - 1) x 8
= 25 x 8
= 200 m
(c)
Distance between 7th tree from the 13th tree
= (13 - 7) x 8
= 6 x 8
= 48 m
Answer(s): (a) 96 m; (b) 200 m; (c) 48 m
