A fence is 10 ft wide by 10 ft long. If posts are placed 2 feet apart how many posts are needed?

20

There are 10 feet of posts on each side. That means there are 40 feet of fencing in total. If you divide that by two (to represent posts being 2 feet apart) then you get 20. There are 20 posts needed.
