Given:

  • Path length: 1.2 kilometers
  • Tree spacing: 4 meters
  • A tree is planted at both the beginning and the end

Step 1: Convert kilometers to meters

1.2 km = 1.2 × 1000 = 1200 meters

Step 2: Calculate the number of intervals

1200 ÷ 4 = 300 intervals

Step 3: Add one tree for the starting point

300 + 1 = 301 trees
