The image describes a problem related to planting trees along a road:

**Problem:**
- One side of a **10 km** long road needs **101 plants**.
- These plants should be planted **at equal distances** from each other.
- The distance between consecutive plants is to be calculated.

### Solution:
To calculate the distance between consecutive plants, consider the following points:
- The total length of the road is **10 km**, which is equal to **10,000 meters**.
- The number of plants is **101**.

Since the first plant is at the start of the road and the last plant is at the end, we divide the total road length by the number of **gaps** between plants, which is 101 plants minus 1, i.e., 100 gaps.

\[
\text{Distance between consecutive plants} = \frac{\text{Total length of the road}}{\text{Number of gaps}} = \frac{10,000}{100} = 100 \, \text{meters}
\]

### Answer:
The distance between consecutive plants is **100 meters**.

1. How would the problem change if the total road length were 5 km instead of 10 km?
2. What if the number of plants increased to 201 instead of 101, how would the spacing change?
3. How do we calculate the number of gaps when the plants are evenly distributed?
4. Can we generalize a formula for distance if the road length and number of plants are variables?
5. How can we calculate the total number of plants needed if the spacing between plants is fixed?

### Tip:
Always remember, when planting or spacing objects evenly, the number of gaps between them is one less than the number of objects themselves.

One side of a 10 km long road, 101 plants are to be planted at equal distance from each other. What is the distance between consecutive plants?

Find the distance between 101 plants planted evenly on one side of a 10 km road. Learn how to calculate the spacing between objects using the formula: Distance = Total Length / (Number of Plants - 1).
