Question

A 2,768–foot–long straight fence has posts that are set 8 feet on center; that is, the distance between the centers of two adjacent poles is 8 feet. If the fence begins with a post and ends with a post, determine the number of posts in the entire fence.\

Answer 1

Answer:

No.P=347

Step-by-step explanation:

The fence is 2768 feet long, how many posts should be placed along the fence if the adjacent distance between them is 8 feet?

How to start and end with a post the number of them (No.P) will always be the distance of the fence (f) between the adjacent distance of the posts (p) plus one     $No.P = \frac{f}{p}+1= \frac{2768}{8}+1 = 346+1=347$
