Question

The length of a garden is 64m. The width is 24m. Posts for a fence will be made at equal distances around the garden, as far apart from each other as possible. How far apart can the posts be?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The maximum possible distance between two posts for the fence will be given by HCF ( highest common factor ) of 24 and 64

24 = 8 x 3

64 = 8 x 8

highest common factor is 8 .

So distance between two poles ( maximum separation ) will be 8 m .

Ans : 8 m .
