anonymous · Answer

let p for the post
the given  1 post is 6m
write fraction 1post similar to p 
write fraction 6 m similar to 114 m
 then cross mutipfly
1 post       6m
-----  =  -----
post?        114m

(114*1)=6p
114 /6 = p
      19 = p
If I deserve medal then give me one

ok but i think you should add one because there is also a post after the 19 posts because the end of the fence will have no post if it is only 19. am i right? that is what my teacher told me
