Question from Marsha: I am putting up a fence 330 feet long and want to put the t post every 4 feet |
Suppose you fence is only 10 feet long. Construct a scale diagram by drawing a line 10 inches long. The fence posts are 4 inches apart so put a dot for each fence post. How many posts do you have? How many do you need for a 330 foot long fence?
