Question

6. Amelia is building a fence and wants it to be 40 feet long. Each panel is 8 feet long, and

she will need a post at each end and between each panel. If she does NOT plan to buy
any extra for waste, how many panels and posts will she need?

Answer 1

5.

Explanation:

If you know your multiplication, you would know that 8x5=40. so, 40 divided by 8 equals 5. and if you dont have 8x5 memorized, do 5x10. 50. 10-8=2. 5x2=10. 50-10=40. Voila!
