Jo Lee wants to hang three 3-inch by 5-inch prints on her wall. She wants to line them up vertically with an inch between each print. What is the minimum wall space that Jo Lee must have? Please explain!!!!
depends on whether they are hung as landscapes or portraits.
Either way, just draw a diagram, and add up the needed heights and spaces!
To find the minimum wall space required, we need to calculate the total height of the prints and the additional space between them.
Each print is 3 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Since Jo Lee wants to hang them vertically, we only need to consider the height of the prints.
We have three prints, so we need to find the total height of the three prints combined:
Total height of three prints = Height of one print + Space between two prints + Height of one print + Space between two prints + Height of one print
The height of one print is 5 inches and the space between two prints is 1 inch. Therefore, the total height of the three prints can be calculated as follows:
Total height of three prints = (5 inches + 1 inch) + (5 inches + 1 inch) + 5 inches
= 6 inches + 6 inches + 5 inches
= 17 inches
So, Jo Lee must have a minimum wall space of 17 inches to hang the three prints vertically with an inch between each print.
