66 because you multiply by 22 not 23

Answer:

66 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The space between the first two crops is 3 feet, between the first and the third is 6 feet, between the first and the fourth is 9 feet hence, the relationship between the first and the nth crop is given by

3(n - 1)

As such, if there are 23 crops, the distance between the first and last plant

= 3(23 - 1)

= 3(22)

= 66 feet
