Question

Ten lampposts are equally spaced along a straight line. The distance between two consecutive lampposts is 40 meters. What is the distance between the third and the eight lampposts?

Answer 1

The distance between the 3rd lamppost and 8 th lamppost is 100 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the distance between 2 lampposts is 40 meters, you would divide the neters by 2. This would give you the answer of 20, meaning the distance between lampposts is 20 meters. So multiply 20 * 5 to get the distance between the third lampost and eight lamppost.
