A wall is 13 feet long you have 13 clocks of 10 inches each. What should be the distance between each clock to cover the complete wall?

If the edge of the first closk is to be at one end of the wall and the edge of the last clock is to be at the other, then you need 12 gaps between the clocks. The wall is 156 inches long... Side-by-side the clocks cover 130 inches... These 12 gaps will need to cover a distance of 26 inches, so the answer is 26.12 inches or 2 1/6 inches.
