The bar should be 8 1/24 from the each edge of the door.
We need to subtract 10 1/4 from 26 1/3 to get the fraction of the space not covered by the towel bar.
We also need to divide the difference by 2 because we placed the towel bar in the center of the door.
1st we need to convert the mixed fractions into fractions to perform subtraction.
26 1/3 = ((26*3)+1)/3 = 79/3
10 1/4 = ((10*4)+1)/4 = 41/4
Steps in Subtracting Fractions
Step 1. Make sure the denominator is the same. 3 and 4 are the denominators, they are not the same but they are factor of 12. So,
79/3 must be multiplied by 4 = 79 * 4 / 3 * 4 = 316 / 12
41/4 must be multiplied by 3 = 41 * 3 / 4 * 3 = 123 / 12
Step 2. Subtract the numerators and place them above the common denominator
316/12 - 123/12 = 316 - 123 / 12 = 193 / 12
Before we can simplify the fraction, we must divide it by two to get the measurement of each edge of the door.
Steps in dividing fractions.
Step 1. Get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
1st fraction : 193 / 12
2nd fraction : 2 /1 ⇒ reciprocal 1/2
Step 2. Multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction
193 / 12 * 1/2 = 193 * 1 / 12 * 2 = 193 / 24
Step 3. Simplify the fraction.
193 / 24 = 8 1/24
Answer:
=3 + 4/12 + 3/12
Step-by-step explanation:
To make 1/3 into a twelfth, you have to multiply the 3 by 4 to get 12. Whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom, meaning that you have to multiply 1 by 4 to get 4 on top.

The answer is : x= -y/3+2
Answer:
w-15
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 * ( w + 5) + 4w
Distribute the -3 to each term in the parentheses
-3w -15 + 4w
Combine like terms
-3w+4w -15
w-15
Answer:
The quotient is 3x-8
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x^2-x-40)÷ (5 + 2x)
The above equation can be written as
(6x^2-x-40)÷ (2x + 5)
The division is shown in the figure below.
The quotient is 3x-8
