if you have a 30 and a 24 feet long if she put it all around the garden using a 6foot sections of fence how many fence posts will she need.
54
30+24=?
if you counted the starting post, you do not count it at the end.
I see on the 30 ft side: start, 6, 12, 18, 24. Then going down the 24 side, start, 6, 12, 18. then repeat the other two sides. Total posts? 18 check me.
I'd go with bob. Got to consider one post for every 6 feet of fence.
To determine the number of fence posts needed, we first need to calculate the total length of the garden's perimeter. We can do this by adding the lengths of the two sides together.
Total perimeter = Length of the first side + Length of the second side
Total perimeter = 30 feet + 24 feet
Total perimeter = 54 feet
Next, we need to determine how many 6-foot sections of fence are needed to cover the entire perimeter. We can do this by dividing the total perimeter by the length of each section.
Number of sections = Total perimeter ÷ Length of each section
Number of sections = 54 feet ÷ 6 feet
Number of sections = 9 sections
Finally, to determine the number of fence posts needed, we add 1 to the number of sections since each section requires a fence post at each end.
Number of fence posts = Number of sections + 1
Number of fence posts = 9 sections + 1
Number of fence posts = 10 fence posts
Therefore, a total of 10 fence posts will be needed to surround the garden.
