Question

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

Answer 1

From the figure, it can be observed that gap between 1^st and last sapling = 3 × Length of gap 1

Therefore, distance between 1^st and 4^th sapling = `3 xx 3/4 "m"`

= `9/4` m

= `2 1/4` m
