suppose you want to build a stright line fence that is 300ft long. If you place the posts every 10ft, how many posts do you need?

Suppose you wanted to build a fence 10' long. How many posts would you need?

How about 20'? 30'?

Is there a pattern emerging here?

To determine the number of posts needed for a straight line fence, we can take the length of the fence and divide it by the spacing between each post.

In this case, the length of the fence is 300 feet, and the posts are placed every 10 feet. Therefore, we divide the length of the fence by the spacing between each post:

300 ft / 10 ft = 30 posts

So, you would need 30 posts to build a straight line fence that is 300 feet long.
