Question

Along a straight line 1537 m long. 54 trees are planted at equal distances one tree being at each end of the line. What is the distance between
two consecutive trees ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

54 trees devide it in 53 parts.

distance=1537/53=29

Answer 2

Answer:

29 m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The length of the straight line = 1537 m

Number of trees planted at the equal distances with each other = 54

Now,

We know that one tree each has been planted at the both ends of the line as well.

Therefore, the number of divisions between the trees planted will be equal to = Number of trees - 1

So,

Number of partitions/ divisions between them = 54 - 1 = 53

Therefore,

Distance between two consecutive trees = Length of the partition/ division.

So,

Distance between two consecutive trees = 1537/53 = 29 m.
