On one side of a 1.011.01 km long road, 101101 plants are planted at equal distance from each other. What is the total distance between 55 consecutive plants?

Explanation

  1. Total Distance of the Road: 1.011.01 km, which is equivalent to 10101010 meters.

  2. Number of Plants: There are 101101 plants planted at equal distances along this 10101010-meter road.

  3. Distance Between Each Plant: Since there are 101101 plants, the distance between each pair of consecutive plants is given by dividing the total distance by the number of gaps between plants. The number of gaps is 1011=100101 - 1 = 100. Distance between each plant = 1010/100=10.11010 / 100 = 10.1 meters.

  4. Distance Between 5 Consecutive Plants: The distance from the 1st to the 5th plant (covering 4 gaps) is: 10.1×4=40.410.1 \times 4 = 40.4 meters.
