<span>If you're trying to rewrite 1/2 and 1/4 in terms of the same common denominator, all you have to do is multiply the top and bottom of 1/2 by 4 (which is the denominator of 1/4) and the top and bottom of 1/4 by 2 (which is the denominator of 1/2) to find that 1/2 = (1 x 4) / (2 x 4) = 4/8 and 1/6 = (1 x 2) / (4 x 2) = 2/8.</span>

If you need to work with 1/2 and 1/4 both with the same denominator,
then the easiest one to use is '4'.  The 1/2 is the same thing as  2/4.

The fence is 210 ft long.
There is a post every 3.5 ft.
If you divide 210 ft by 3.5 ft, you get the number of spaces between posts.
(210 ft)/(3.5 ft) = 60
The fence starts with a post. Then there is 3.5 ft of fencing. Then there is another post. Then there is another 3.5 ft of fencing followed by a post. In total there are 61 posts.

Here's another way of thinking of why you end up with 60 posts.
For each 3.5 ft of fencing, you place a post at the end of the fencing.
Since there are 60 3.5-ft-long pieces of fencing, there will be 60 posts, one at the end of each piece of fencing. The first thing that is done is to put the initial post before any fencing is put up. The first post plus 60 more posts add up to 61 posts.

Now that you see why there are 61 posts, we can calculate their cost.
61 * $8.50 = $518.50
