Question 480970: Frank built a picket fence around his house. The fence is 75 feet long. The pickets are rectangular,3 inches wide and 3.5 feet high. They are spaced two inches apart. How many pickets were needed? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
One picket is 3 inches wide and the space next to it is 2 inches wide. So for each picket a space of 3 plus 2 = 5 inches is requred. How many times does 5 go into (75 feet times 12 inches) of fence?
