A straight picket fence is composed of x pickets each of which is 1/2 inch wide. If there are 6 inches of space between each pair of pickets, which of the following represents the length of fence in feet?  Select the correct option.
A) 13x/2  B) 13x/2 - 6  C) 13x/24  D) (13x+1)/24  E) (13x-12)/24
Number of pickets = x   Size of pickets = 1/2   length of pickets = 1/2x   If there are x pickets, it implies that there are x -1 spaces between the picket   Length of space = 6   total number of length = 1/2 x + 6(x-1) in inches   total length in feet =( 1/2 x + 6(x-1))/12   Simplify to get (13X-12)/24   ANSW(13x-12)/24R:(13x-12)/24
