A picture frame is 6 1/4 inches wide by 8 inches tall. If a 5 inch by 7 inch picture is to be centered in the frame, what should the right margin be?
1/2 = 1/2 inch
(1 1/4) / 2 = 5/8 inch
A rectangle picture frame is made of wood stripes that are 3/4 inches wide the outside edge of the frame is 8 1/4 inches long and 6 3/4 inches wide can a rectangle picture that is 7 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide fit inside the frame?
To determine the right margin, we first need to calculate the width of the picture frame after the picture is centered.
Given that the picture frame is 6 1/4 inches wide and the picture is 5 inches wide, we can calculate the difference:
6 1/4 inches - 5 inches = 1 1/4 inches
This result tells us that there will be 1 1/4 inches of empty space on either side of the picture when it is centered.
However, we only want to find the width of the right margin, which means we only need half of the empty space:
1 1/4 inches / 2 = 5/8 inch
Thus, the right margin should be 5/8 inch wide.
