If post are space 5 feet apart and how many posts are needed for 60 feet of straight line fence

Step-by-step explanation:

Math is a language

say you plant two posts that are 5ft apart and you want to get up to 60ft

right now you've covered 5ft and now have 60 - 5 = 55ft to go.

you plant the next one: 55 - 5 = 50ft to go

instead of subtracting many times and counting hiw many times we've subtracted, we can use division

60ft / 5ft = 12 posts

to verify, you can multiply 5 and 12 which is the same as adding 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 +... + 5 = 5ft x 12 Posts= 60ft in total length
12 because 60 divided by 5 = 12
