PLease help me with this math question.?



An art gallery owner want to frame a 30in wife portrait of poet Maya Angelou. He want the width of the framed poster to be 38 1/2 in. How wide should each section of the frame be?

Subtract 30 from 38 1/2 = 8 1/2 inches, divide that in two for each side=4 1/2 inch.

However, what is not mentioned in the problem is that there is usually an overlap of 1/8 to 1/2 on each side so that the frame slightly covers and anchors in the painting.
so, unless there is more information, go wth the first answer. However, if this is a real life problem, consider the overlap in the equation.
find the width and the lenght first
Shouldn't be 38 1/2 minus 30?

8 1/2 inches left, but you have both sides of the frame, so each side should be 4 1/4 inches.
does it say the length?
15m
find lenght then widht
381/2-30 = 8 1/2
each side will be 8 1/2 /2 = 4 1/4 in
