Question

Now, the chef Locust Lime sowed $200$ seedlings at equal distances in each row. If there are $200$ number of rows, then

$\left(1\right)$ What will be the distance between the seedlings along the longer side in inches?

$\left(2\right)$ What will be the distance between the seedlings along the shorter side in inches?

• A. $\left(1\right)23.4$
  $\left(2\right)11.7$
• B. $\left(1\right)11.7$
  $\left(2\right)23.4$
• C. $\left(1\right)60$
  $\left(2\right)30$
• D. $\left(1\right)30$
  $\left(2\right)60$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\left(1\right)23.4$

$\left(2\right)11.7$

$\left(1\right)$ Given, length of the longer side $=120\text{m}$
$\because 1\text{m}=100\text{cm}\Rightarrow 120\text{m}=120\times 100=12,000\text{cm}$

Distance between the seedlings
$=\frac{12,000}{200}\text{cm}=60\text{cm}$

$\because 1\text{cm}=0.39\text{in}$
$\Rightarrow 60\text{cm}=60\times 0.39\text{in}=23.4\text{in}$

Hence, distance between seedling along the longer side is 23.4 inches.

$\left(2\right)$ Given, Length of the shorter side $=60\text{m}$
$\because 1\text{m}=100\text{cm}$
$\Rightarrow 60\text{m}=60\times 100=6,000$ cm

Distance between the seedlings
$=\frac{6,000}{200}\text{cm}=30\text{cm}$

$\because 1\text{cm}=0.39\text{in}$
$\Rightarrow 30\text{cm}=30\times 0.39\text{in}=11.7$ in

Hence, distance between seedling along the shorter side is 11.7 inches.
