Hope this helped:)

Explanation:

4*12=48

48-10.5=37.5

37.7/2=18.75

Answer 2

There's 18.75 inches of space at each side of the picture.

Explanation:

We know that, the picture is 10.5 inches wide, and the wall is 4 feet wide.

First we have to transform feet to inches and subtract. So, we know that 1 feet is 12 inches, how much inches would be 4 feet?

`4 \ ft(12 \ in)/(1 \ ft)=48 \ in`

So, the wall is 48 inches wide.

Now,

`(48 - 10.5)in=37.5in`

There's 37.5 inches of space. If the picture is in the middle, then each side would be have:

`(37.5)/(2)=18.75 \ in`

Therefore, there's 18.75 inches of space at each side of the picture.
