They will build another fence that is 48 feet long. The posts can be a minimum of 5 feet apart and a maximum of 9 feet apart. The posts should be equally separated. Design a fence that uses the fewest posts possible. How far apart should each post be placed?

6 posts at 8 feet apart because 8 goes into 48 equally and you get 6. 48/8=6

Hope this helps!
