Answer:
17 seedlings
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
The seedlings are at an equal distance in a straight line.
Distance between 3rd seedling and 5th seedling = 9/10 m
So, distance between 3rd seedling and 4th seedling = 9/10 ÷ 2 = 9/20 m
So, the distance between two seedlings in a line = 9/20 m
The given distance between 2nd seedling and the last seedling = 6 3/4 m = 27/4 m
Starting from 2nd seedling:
9/20 * x = 27/4
Where x = the number of times 9/20 to reach the last seedling.
x = 15
So, from 2nd seedling we need to move 15 positions to get a distances of 27/4.
Moving from 2 to 17, we get 17 as the last seedling.
So, the total number of seedlings = 17
