Write your answer in the space below.

Answer 1

✔️Length of the space Mr. Hamilton wants to fill with pictures = 4 ft long

✔️8 pictures can be fit on this wall by Mr. Hamilton

Explanation:

The wall = 9.75 ft long

Window = 5¾ ft long = 5.75 ft

Each President's picture = 6 in. wide = 0.5 ft wide (note: 1 ft = 12 in.)

✍️Length of the space Mr. Hamilton wants to fill with pictures = 9.75 ft - 5.75 ft = 4 ft

✍️ Numbers of pictures that can fit on this wall = the space Mr. Hamilton wants to fill ÷ the width of each picture

= 4 ft ÷ 0.5 ft

= 8.

8 pictures will can be fit on the wall.
