Oak trees line both sides of a street for a length of 5/8 of a kilometer. If there is 16 meters of space between the trees, and each tree is 1 meter wide, how many trees are there along the street?  Pick one:
A) a)	22	B) b)	23	C) c)	38	D) d)	44	E) e)	46
There is a gap of 16 m between every 2 trees , each tree is 1 m wide.   5/8 of 1 km = 625 m   Lets assume that x trees are planted So equation is   x*1 +(x-1)*16 = 625   Solve for x and we get x = 38, answer is c)	38
