Geoff needs to wire a report leaving 3/4 in margins on his paper. The width of the paper is 8 1/2 in. He put the zero mark on the ruler at one end of the page. Where should he put marks as a guide to draw the 3/4 in lines ?

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. Based on the problem above, you have that the width of the paper is:

`8 1/2=17/2 in`
2. Geoff must leave
`3/4` in margins on his paper. Therefore, he needs to put marks as a guide at:

`3/4 inches=0.75 inches`
Therefore, as you can see above, the answer is:
`0.75 inches= 1.90 centimeters`
