Question

Foster is centering a photo that is 9 1/2 inches wide on a scrapbook page that is 10 inches wide. How far from each side of the page should he put the picture? Enter your answer as a mixed number. / pls help quick

Answer 1

should be 1/4 inches away from each side

Explanation:

all I did was take the 10 inches,subtract 9.5 from that to get 1/2 left.

since it needs to be centered, divide that by two for each side.

and 1/2 ÷ 2 = 1/4

so I got 1/4 inches on each side.
