Question 800409: a portion of a walkway in a park has a length of 115 yards. A landscaper plants a tree at the beginning of the walkway, then plants another tree every 5 3/4 yards. How many trees will the landscaper plant along the walkway? Be sure to include the tree planted at the beginning of the walkway. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Add in the tree at the beginning later
For the first 4 trees that the landscaper plants,
There are 4 equal spaces, and the length of
the 4 spaces is ,
or 23 yards for 4 trees.
If I keep planting in groups of 4, there are groups of 4, which makes
20 trees. Adding the tree at the beginning,
there are 21 trees planted along the walkway
