Question

Keesha wanted to frame a picture but realized the frame she had would hide 1/4 of an inch of the length and the width of the picture. If the picture's length is 7 inches and - 1/4 of an inch represents the hidden part, which of the following expressions can be used to find the length that is still showing?

Answer 1

To find the length of the picture that is still showing, subtract the hidden part from the total length of the picture. The length that is still showing is 27/4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the picture that is still showing, we need to subtract the hidden part from the total length of the picture. The hidden part is represented by the fraction 1/4 of an inch. So, the expression to find the length that is still showing is:

7 - 1/4

Now we can simplify the expression:

7 - 1/4 = 28/4 - 1/4 = 27/4

Therefore, the length that is still showing is 27/4 inches.
