Solve the problem.
You plan to put a picture up in your room of each of your six closest friends. You decide to place them on a poster board that is 24 inches wide. If the pictures are placed in two rows of 3, how many inches wide can each picture be?
Blank Space__________inches
To solve this problem, we need to divide the width of the poster board (24 inches) by the number of pictures in each row (3).
24 inches ÷ 3 pictures = 8 inches.
Therefore, each picture can be 8 inches wide.
