First, we need to find the perimeter of the coral to determine the total length of fencing needed.

Perimeter = 2(50) + 2(30)
Perimeter = 100 + 60
Perimeter = 160 ft.

Since the fence posts must be 10 ft. apart, we can calculate the number of fence posts needed by dividing the perimeter by the distance between each fence post.

Number of fence posts = Perimeter / distance between fence posts
Number of fence posts = 160 / 10
Number of fence posts = 16

Therefore, Jaime's father must buy 16 fence posts for the coral.
