Answer:

2 Inches or ~1.43 Inches

Explanation:

2 Inches if it's not including the spacing before the first "E" and after the "S", ~1.43 Inches if it's including the spacing.

You would get 2 Inches since if each letter is 10 inches (total 6 letters), that would be 60 inches. There are 5 total spaces in between all the letters. 70 Inches(Banner size) - 60 Inches (total letter size) = 10 Inches, divided equally within the 5 spaces. That would equal 2 :)

You also get ~1.43 Inches by doing the same process as the one shown above^ (that is if you're including the spacing before and after the word)

:)
