Question 5
Saili plants 4 saplings in a row in her garden. The distance between two adjacent saplings is 3/4m
Find the distance between the first and the last sapling.

Answer 1

The distance between two adjacent saplings
$=\frac{3}{4}m$

Saili planted 4 saplings in a row, then number of gap in saplings $=3$

Therefore, the distance between the first and the last saplings
$=3\times \frac{3}{4}$
$=\frac{9}{4}m$
$=2\frac{1}{4}m$

Thus, the distance between the first and the last saplings is $2\frac{1}{4}m$
