The glass part of the frame is an illustration of fractions

The width of each side of the frame is 5 1/4 inches

<h3>How to determine the width of each side?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Represent the width of each side with x.

So, we have:

Glass part + 2x = Total width

Substitute known values

31 1/2 + 2x = 42

Subtract 31 1/2 from both sides

2x = 10 1/2

Divide both sides by 2

x = 5 1/4

Hence, the width of each side of the frame is 5 1/4 inches
