When hanging a 2 7/8 ft long wall hanging in the middle of a wall that is 11 ft long, approximately how far from each end of the wall should it be hung to be in the center of the wall?
To hang the wall hanging in the center of the wall, first, find the midpoint of the wall by dividing the length of the wall by 2:
11 ft ÷ 2 = 5.5 ft
So the midpoint of the wall is 5.5 feet from either end.
Next, subtract half of the length of the wall hanging from the midpoint to find the ideal hanging location:
5.5 ft - (2.875 ft ÷ 2) = 4.0625 ft
Therefore, the wall hanging should be hung approximately 4.0625 feet from each end of the wall to be placed in the center.
