Question

1. A straight fence is constructed from posts 6 inches wide and separated by lengths of chain 5 feet long. A certain fence begins and ends with a post. If there are 7 posts, what is the total length of the fence?​

Answer 1

72

Explanation:

First, we will multiply the number of posts (7) by the posts' width (6) to get 42.

Since there is a chain between each post, there are 6 chains.

Multiplying the number of chains (6) by the chains' length (5), we get 30.

The question asks us to find the total length of the fence, so we add 42 and 30 and get 72.

Hope this helps!
