Question

Sofia wants to place a sticker 2 ½ inches long in the center of a switch box that is 3 ¾ inches wide. About how far from the edge will she place the sticker?

Please help

Answer 1

5/8 inches because since it wasn't specified what way the box was placed,3 3/4 - 2 1/2=1 1/4, 1 1/4 is the space that is not taken up by the sticker, dividing 1 1/4 gives you 5/8,you divide cuz it is from the edge since the sticker is in the direct middle, both side is the same

Answer 2

Sofia will need to place the sticker 1.25 or 1/4
