8 lamp post mns 7 gap b/w them.....
73m50cm=7350cm
so distance b/w two ploes= 7350/ 7= 1050cm
= 10m 50cm.........

Answer:

Therefore, The distance between any two lampsons = 10 meter 50 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

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
