Question

Ardener planted some seedlings at equal distances apart along a straight road the 3rd seedling and the 5th seedling were 9/10 m apart . The 2nd seedling and the last seedling were 6 3/4 m apart . How many seedlings did he plant

Answer 1

• Step-by-step explanation: So the 3rd seedling and the 5th seedling are 90cm apart. There would be 2 spaces between the 3rd and 5th seedling, so 90cm divided by 2 is 45cm.
• The 2nd seedling and the last seedling were 675cm apart. So 675cm divided by 45 is 15. That means 15 spaces between the 2nd one and the last one, so 15+1=16, and you have to add the first seedling too. 16+1=17. Hence, the answer is 17.
