Please help it’s with applying Rational numbers. First to answer is Brainliest!!!!!!!!
Donna is hanging a poster on her wall she wants to center it horizontally. The poster is 25 7/10 inches long, the space between the right edge of the poster and the right edge of the wall is 50 1/4 inches in the wall is 134 1/5 Inches long. Is the picture centered? Use the numbers given to find out, and use estimation to check if your answer is reasonable.

Answer 1

Answer:

The poster is not centered.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the image attached you can observe a representation of this situation.

First, we need to transform each mixed number to a fraction.

$25 \frac{7}{10}=\frac{257}{10}=25.70 \ in$

$50 \frac{1}{4} =\frac{201}{4} =50.25 \ in$

$134 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{671}{5} =134.20 \ in$

Now, if the poster is centers, then the distance to the wall on the right and on the left, must be equal. We know that the space on the right is 50.25 inches. Then, we subtract to find the other side

$134.20-50.25-25.70=58.25 \ in$

So, the space in the left side of the poster is 58.25 inches long.

Therefore, the poster is not centered.
