Question

Imagine you are hanging two identical picture frames. Each frame is 28 inches wide and the wall you are hanging them on is 10 feet wide. There needs to be 8 inches of space in between the two frames. How far do the frames need to be from the left and right side of the walls in order to be centered?

Answer 1

• 28 inches

Explanation:

Sum of the width of the two frames and a gap between them:

• 28*2 + 8 = 64 in

The gaps from the left and right are equal to x:

• x = (10 feet - 64 in)/2 = (120 in - 64 in)/2 = 28 in
