EXACT SPACING BETWEEN BALUSTERS - GIVEN APPROXIMATE DESIRED SPACING
Example: You are building a staircase with a handrail along the side of it. The span of the handrail is
144 Inches. Each baluster is 1Inch wide and you want there to be about 2-1/2 Inches of space
between each baluster. However, you'll need to find the exact spacing required, as well as how many
balusters are needed.
KEY INPUT & DISPLAY
1. Calculate the number of balusters that you'll need to cover the span, given the approximate
combined meausrement of the baluster width and the space before the next one:

2. Find how much space is taken up by the combined width of the balusters:
