In a row of trees, a tree is 8th from left and 14th from right end. How many trees are there in the row?
To find the total number of items in a row when you know the position of a single item from both ends, you can use a simple formula.
Total = (Position from Left) + (Position from Right) - 1
We subtract 1 because when you count from the left and then again from the right, the specific tree you are referencing gets counted twice.
We are given the following information:
Plugging these values into the formula:
Total = 8 + 14 - 1 Total = 22 - 1 Total = 21 Final Answer: There are 21 trees in the row.
