Sagot :

1.3 meter

Explanation

Step 1

Let

red dot = teacher

green dots= students

space between the teacher and the first student is 1.5=black line

space between the teacher and the last students is 6.7 m= blue line

space between each estudent= unknow value= purple line= x

Step 2

make the equation

blue line = blackline + 4*purple line

replace,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6.7=1.5+(4\cdot x) \\ 6.7=1.5+4x \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3

solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6.7=1.5+4\text{x} \\ \text{subtract 1.5 in both sides} \\ 6.7-1.5=1.5+4x\text{ -1.5} \\ 5.2=4x \\ \text{divide each side by }4 \\ \frac{5.2}{4}=\frac{4x}{} \\ x=1.30 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Rounded it is 1.3 meter
