Asked by Norla

You are installing a new pre-constructed fence. Each fence section measures 4 1/2 feet wide and each end will also have a decorative piece that measures 1 3/4 feet wide. The space for the fence is 30 feet wide. What is the most number of 4 1/2 foot fence can be installed?

My answer is 4.5 + 1.75= 6.25
30/6.25 = 4 is this correct?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

Each end gets a decorative piece.

30-3.5 = 26.5
26.5 remains for the fence sections
26.5/4.5= 5 fence sections
