Question

Roger made a leather belt and crafts class he attached a buckle at one end and punched five equals spaced holes at the other if the distance between the first hole and last hole is 10 cm how far apart are the holes

Answer 1

The distance between each hole is 2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between each hole, we can divide the total distance between the first and last hole by the number of spaces between them. In this case, we have 5 spaces between 6 points (including the first and last hole). So the distance between each hole would be 10 cm divided by 5, which is 2 cm.

Answer 2

2.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Three holes will create 4 spaces. Draw the diagram to see that.

So the distance between the 1st and the 5th is 10 cm.

10cm / 4 = 2.5 cm. The holes are 2.5 cm apart.
