Answer:

1/2 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width. So, the length and width of the photo will give a product of 24 when they are multiplied together.

One set of factors of 24 is 4 and 6, each of which is 1 unit less than the 5 and 7 dimensions of the paper on which the photo is printed. Hence a 1/2-inch border all around will result in a printed photo that is 4x6 on a 5x7 piece of paper.

___

If you want to write and solve equations, you can let b represent the border width. Then the photo area is ...

(5 -2b)(7 -2b) = 24

35 -24b +4b^2 = 24

4b^2 -24b +11 = 0

(2b -1)(2b -11) = 0

Solutions to this quadratic are b = 1/2, b = 11/2. The only viable solution is b = 1/2.

The border is 1/2 inch wide.
