Mike is putting up a snow fence on the west side of his property. He needs a post at each end to hold the fence up and would like to put a post in every 8 feet. If he uses 25 posts for his fence, how wide is the west side of his property?

192ft

To find the width of Mike's property, we need to determine the total distance covered by the posts.

Let's assume the distance between the two ends of the property is x feet.

The number of posts required to put a post every 8 feet can be calculated using the formula:

Number of posts = (Distance between two ends) / (Distance between posts) + 1

In this case, the equation becomes:

25 = (x) / 8 + 1

Now, let's solve this equation for x:

25 = x / 8 + 1
25 - 1 = x / 8
24 = x / 8
24 * 8 = x
192 = x

Therefore, the width of the west side of Mike's property is 192 feet.
