Question 759996: A man is planning to fence the front part of his property with posts 2 m apart. Short of money, he decides to make the posts 3 m apart and uses 3 posts less. How wide is his property? Answer by sachi(548) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SAY HIS PROPERTY IS X M WIDE
NO OF POSTS WHEN 2M APART=X/2
NO OF POSTS WHEN 3M APART=X/3
AS PER QUESTION X/2-X/3=3
OR X/6=3
OR WIDTH OF PROPERTY=X=6*3=18 M
