Problem
Elmer the emu takes equal strides to walk between consecutive telephone poles on a rural road. Oscar the ostrich can cover the same distance in
equal leaps. The telephone poles are evenly spaced, and the
st pole along this road is exactly one mile (
feet) from the first pole. How much longer, in feet, is Oscar's leap than Elmer's stride?
Solution 1
There are gaps between the
telephone poles, so the distance of each gap is
feet.
Each of Oscar's leaps covers feet, and each of Elmer's strides covers
feet.
Therefore, Oscar's leap is feet longer than Elmer's stride.

Solution 2
There are gaps between the
telephone poles, so Elmer takes
strides in total, and Oscar takes
leaps in total. Therefore, the answer is
.
