Answer 1

Distance between two consecutive tick marks is 0.05 units.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

It is given that there are 20 ticks between two consecutive number.

Let n and n+1 be the consecutive number.

Formula:

Distance between two ticks =

`\displaystyle\frac{\text{Difeerence between the numbers}}{\text{Number of ticks}}\\\\= ((n+1)-n)/(20) = (1)/(20) = 0.05`

Thus, distance between two consecutive tick marks is 0.05 units.
