PLEASE HELP ASAP! Alayna is hanging a picture frame in the center of a wall that is 8 feet wide. If the picture frame is 22 1/4 inches wide, how far will each side of the picture frame be from the edge of the wall (in inches)? First, estimate the amount and then find the exact measurement. In two or more complete sentences, explain how you solved the problem. You may include a diagram in your explanation if you wish.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximation:

The wall is 8 ft wide.

The frame is 22 1/4 inches wide. 22 1/4 inches is close to 2 ft since 2 ft = 24 inches.

8 ft - 2 ft = 6 ft

There will be approximately 6 ft of space tot he sides of the frame.

6 ft/2 = 3 ft

3 ft * 12 in./ft = 36 in.

There will be approximately 36 in. on each side of the frame.

Exact:

8 ft - 22 1/4 in. = 8 * 12 in. - 22 1/4 in. =

= 96 in. - 22 1/4 in.

= 95 4/4 in. - 22 1/4 in.

= 73 3/4 in.

The total amount of width of the wall not occupied by the frame is 73 3/4 in.

Half of that amount is on each side of the frame.

(73 3/4 in.)/2 = (73 3/4 in.) * 1/2 = (73 * 1/2 + 3/4 * 1/2) in. =

= 36 1/2 in. + 3/8 in.

= 36 4/8 in. + 3/8 in.

= 36 + 7/8 in.

= 36 7/8 in.
