Answer:

He should put the picture 3 1/4 inches from each side of the page.

Explanation:

The page is 12 inches wide. The picture will cover up 5 1/2 inches.



12 - 5 1/2

= 6 1/2 inches

Of these 6 1/2 inches, half will be to the right of the picture and half will be to the left of the picture.

6 1/2 ÷ 2

= 3 1/4

There will show 3 1/4 inches on each side of the picture.

He should put the picture 3 1/4 inches from each side of the page.
