Question

Deb wants to hang a picture over her bed. The picture is 4.8 feet and her bed is 72 inches across. She wants to be sure it’s centered, so how far from the edge of her bed should Deb hang the picture?

Answer 1

7.2 inches far from the bed.

Explanation:

4.8 ft = 57.6

72-57.6 = 14.4

Since there is 2 edges. Divide by 2.

14.4/2 = 7.2 inches.
