Answer:
Number of equally spaced lampson on the straight road = 8
Distance between the first and the last post = 73 m 50 cm
Distance in centimeter = 7300 cm + 50 cm
= 7350 cm
We need to find the distance between any two posts.
Since, there are 8 lampsons in total so there are 7 gaps among 8 lampsons.
So, distance between any two lamsons = 7350/7
= 1050 cm
Therefore, The distance between any two lampsons = 10 meter 50 cm
