A very optimistic electrician wants to build a fence along the entire front of her home. Her plan is for the equally spaced fence posts to be 15 feet apart and her front yard is 180 feet wide. How many total fence post will our electrician need?

Answer 1

To find the number of total fence posts needed, we need to divide the width of the front yard by the distance between each fence post.

The width of the front yard is 180 feet, and the distance between each fence post is 15 feet.

So, the total number of fence posts needed is 180/15 = <<180/15=12>>12 fence posts.

Therefore, the electrician will need a total of 12 fence posts.
