Answer:

4 inches should exist between each pair or letters.

Explanation:

In total, the banner is 59-inch-wide.

FALCONS has 7 letters, each 5 inches wide. So the letters occupe 7*5 = 35 inches, leaving 59 - 35 = 24 inches for the spaces.

Between these 7 letters, there are 6 spaces.

24 inches for 6 spaces

This means that 24/6 = 4 inches should exist between each pair or letters.
