Farmer Lisa planted some seedlings in a row at equal distances to each other. The distance between the fist and fourth seedling was 240cm. Find the distance between the first and eight seedlings.

Question

PLEASE HELP!!!😢

This is Word Problems.

Answer 1

If they’re an equal distance apart and there are 240cm between the first and the fourth, then 240 divided by 4 means that each one is spaced by 60cm

If there are 60 cm between each one then 60 cm times 8 = 480 cm

(Or you could always just double 240 because 8 is twice as many as 4 and 240 times 2=480 cm)
