Two friends, Sita and Gita, stand at the 3/5 and 4/5 marks of a 1 km track. They want to insert 4 markers equally spaced strictly between them. What is the distance between two consecutive markers (in km)?

Question

Accepted Answer

1/25. Distance = 4/5 - 3/5 = 1/5. With 4 markers there are 5 equal gaps, so each gap = 1/5/5 = 1/25 km.

Two friends, Sita and Gita, stand at the $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$ marks of a 1 km track.
