Q.5 Saili plants 4 saplings, in a row, in her garden. The distance between two adjacent saplings is 3/4 m. Find the distance between the first and the last sapling.

The distance between two adjacent saplings =3/4 m
Number of saplings planted by Saili in a row = 4
Then, number of gap in saplings = 3/4 × 4=12/4=3
Therefore The distance between the first and the last saplings = 3 × 3/4= (9/4) m = \(2\frac{1}{4} \)
