Question

Five flowering plants are to be planted between two trees which are 12m apart. If the first tree is 2m away from the house, how far from the house is each of the plants?

Answer 1

2m, 14m, 26m, 38m, 50m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the distance of each tree from the house we simply need to add 12m to the initial starting point of the first tree which is 2m away, and then add 12m to that distance and so on until all 5 trees are planted. The distances would be the following...

1st Tree: 2m

2nd Tree: 2m + 12m = 14m

3rd Tree: 14m + 12m = 26m

4rth Tree: 26m + 12m = 38m

5th Tree: 38m + 12m = 50m

Therefore, those are the distances between each tree 2m, 14m, 26m, 38m, 50m
