Frets are small metal bars positioned across the neck of a guitar so that the guitar can produce notes of a specific scale. To find the distance a fret should be placed from the bridge, multiply the string length by 2^(-n/12) where n is the number of notes higher than the string's root note.
Determine where to place a fret to produce an A note on a C string (5 notes higher) that is 70cm long. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

s*2^(-n/12) where "s" is string length and "n" is the number of notes higher
70 *2^(-5/12)= 52.441= 52.44cm
