Question

A mirror is 24 inches high and 28 inches wide. The center of the mirror will hang 5 1/4 feet from the floor on the wall tha is 8 feet high

Answer 1

The distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame is 5 inches and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

• A mirror is 24 inches high and 28 inches wide.
• The center of the mirror will hang 514 feet from the floor on a wall that is 8 feet high.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame:

Step 1 - Remember 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. So, the value of 8 feet becomes (8 $\times$ 12) 96 inches, and the value of 5 1/4 feet becomes 63 inches.

Step 2 - So, the distance of the center of the frame from the bottom of the frame is:

$\rm \dfrac{28}{2} = 14\;inches$

Step 3 - Now, the distance of the center of the mirror from the floor is:

= 14 + 63

= 77 inches

Step 4 - Now, the distance from the ceiling to the top of the picture frame is:

= 96 - 77 - 14

= 5 inches
