Question

anonymous · Answer

Matteo is centering a poster on the back of a door that is 32 inches wide. The poster is 18 1/2 inches wide. How far from the edge of the door should Matteo hang the poster?

anonymous · Answer

18 1/2 is a mixed number

anonymous · Answer

Ohk, this one can be got off. See over here, we first find the mid point of the width allright? width of the door I mean. its 16 apparently.

anonymous · Answer

Now, 16 being the centre, we place the poster and allow equal distribution of its space (poster width) on both the sides of the 16 inch mark.

@jazelly_  please note that 18 1/2=$$18+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 37 }{ 2 }$$

anonymous · Answer

Yes, so now 18.5/2 on both sides.

anonymous · Answer

32=18.5+2x
