Question

Hector is hanging a 3-panel photo on the wall. He wants to leave 1/3 meter between each panel. How much wall space will he need from left to right? (photo shown)

*it also wants the equation used to solve. it will be addition i think.*

Answer 1

2 4/5m would be the space he needs.

Explanation:

first and third photo, 3/5m, mutiply it by 3 to match second photo's size of 14/15

that would make it 9/15

the gap is 1/3m, there will be 2 gap for in between the 3 photos, so that would make it 2/3m, mutiply it by 5 to match 14/15, so then we have 10/15

9/15+14/15+9/15+10/15=42/15=2 12/15 = 2 4/5

i hope its right, have a nice day.
