Question

There is 800 linear ft. I want a barricade every 5 ft. The barricade is 6ft long. How many barricades are there?

Answer 1

Answer: 72

800/11 = 72.272727272

11 is 6ft plus 5 feet in between each barricade since you need 5 ft for each barricade including the 6ft itself.

Therefore, 800ft can have no more than 72 barricades.
