Saili plants 4 saplings, in a row, in her garden. The distance between two adjacent saplings is \(\frac{3}{4}\) m. Find the distance between the first and the last sapling.
From the figure, it can be observed that gaps between 1st and last sapling = 3 Length of 1 gap = \(\frac{3}{4}\) m Therefore, the distance between I and IV saplings = 3 × \(\frac{3}{4}\) = \(\frac{9}{4}\) = 2 \(\frac{1}{4}\)m
