Answer:
The picture is 4.25 inches from the side of the paper
Step-by-step explanation:
- Taylor wants to center a 3.5 inch picture on a piece of paper that is
12 inches wide
- Lets think about that he want to put the picture in the center of the
paper, then divide the length of the paper into two equal parts and the
picture into two equal part
∵ The width of the paper is 12 inches
∵ 12 ÷ 2 = 6 inches
∵ The width of the picture is 3.5 inches
∵ 3.5 ÷ 2 = 1.75
- Now lets subtract from 6 inches (half paper) 1.75 inches (half picture)
to find the distance between the side of the paper and the picture
∵ 6 - 1.75 = 4.25
∴ The distance from the side of the paper to the picture is 4.25 inches
* <em>The picture is 4.25 inches from the side of the paper</em>
