15 trees are planted along the 24-meter road.

To find:

Distance between two consecutive trees.​

Solution:

Assumption: The trees are planted at equal distance

If a 24-meter long road contains 15 trees then each tree must be planted at equal intervals.

Thus, the formula = Total Distance of the road/Total number of trees

The distance between two consecutive trees. =$\frac{24}{15} = 1.6m$
