thnx i had figured it outfor length of 6m, we put 6 in nth terms of both rods and bolts. For rods, 7*6-1 = 41 rods
for bolts 3*6+2= 20
now we need 20 bolts and 41 rods for every fence. divide 200/20 and we get 10, so we have bolts for 10 fences.
Now divide 400/41 and we can't get more a whole number. this means we have rods for only 9 fences.
So, we can't make more than 9 fences
