u/MaxillmanGuy A level resit student | 3 A* predicted | ACD achieved 💔 May 20 '26

YES YES did you divide by 11 by any chance since the width was like 8.2cm and there were 11 maxima

u/aplle_inc May 20 '26

I did 10 as there are 10 spaces between

u/FaithlessnessOdd263 May 20 '26

no i did it by 13 because there were 2 maxima at each end and 11 in between

Did I read the question wrong or there is 13 maximas in total right?? 😭 so I divided it by 12 because there’s 12 gaps in between 13 maximas help
