Lemon trees are planted along a pathway at an equal distance of 7 m from each other.
- How far is the 1st tree from the 13th tree?
- How far is the 1st tree from the 28th tree?
- How far is the 5th tree from the 13th tree?
(a)
Distance between 1st tree and 13th tree
= (13 - 1) x 7
= 12 x 7
= 84 m
(b)
Distance between 1st tree and 28th tree
= (28 - 1) x 7
= 27 x 7
= 189 m
(c)
Distance between 5th tree from the 13th tree
= (13 - 5) x 7
= 8 x 7
= 56 m
Answer(s): (a) 84 m; (b) 189 m; (c) 56 m
