Question

Foster is centering a photo that is 7 and 1/2 inches wide on a scrapbook page that is 10 inches wide. How far from each side of the page should he put the picture? Enter your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

1 1/4 inches from each side.

If you subtract 7 1/2 from 10 you get 2 1/2. Divide 2 1/2 by 2 to get 1 1/4.
