Question

the city is planting new trees in downtown to make is the street more comfortable for visitors each three 12 ft apart apart

Answer 1

Given:

the city is planting new trees in its downtown to make is the street more comfortable for visitors

They are planting each tree 12 feet apart

So, the distance between every 2 trees = 12 ft

The total distance to plant the trees = 2 miles

As we know: 1 mile = 5280 feet

So, 2 miles = 2 x 5280 = 10,560 feet

So, the number of trees =

`(10560)/(12)+1=880+1=881`

Note: we have added 1 which is the first tree

So, the answer will be the number of trees = 881
