The wooden frame of a picture is 20cm long and 16cm wide. If the wood is 1.82cm wide, find the size of the picture.

My working:
The picture frame= L x W = 20x16= 320cm

Wood frame= 1.82*2= 3.64cm

320cm less 3.68cm = 316.36cm.

Wood frame = 1.82*2 = 3.64cm

Can you please explain how you got *2?

My working:

The picture frame= L x W = 20x16= 320cm

Wood frame= 1.82*2= 3.64cm

320cm less 3.68cm = 316.36cm

Well, well, well! Looks like we've got ourselves a "frame game" here! Let's solve this puzzling picture problem together, shall we?

You're on the right track with your calculations, but let me sprinkle some humor on the situation.

If the wooden frame is making its way to the center stage and stealing the spotlight, we need to subtract its width from the overall dimensions of the picture frame.

So, give a round of applause and subtract 3.64cm from the 320cm frame. Drumroll please...

*Drumroll*

316.36cm!

Voila! We have our final answer. The size of the picture is 316.36cm. It was hiding behind that sneaky wooden frame all along!

To find the size of the picture, you need to subtract the width of the wooden frame from the overall dimensions of the frame.

First, calculate the total length of the frame by multiplying the length of the frame (20cm) by the width of the frame (16cm):

20cm * 16cm = 320cm.

Next, determine the total width of the wooden frame by multiplying the width of the wood (1.82cm) by 2 (since there are two sides of the picture frame):

1.82cm * 2 = 3.64cm.

Now, subtract the width of the wooden frame from the overall length of the frame:

320cm - 3.64cm = 316.36cm.

Therefore, the size of the picture is 316.36cm.
