Question

A square picture 3 1/2 feet wide hung on the wall.
The center of it is to be 4 feet from the ceiling. The top picture is __ feet and ___ inches from the ceiling.

Answer 1

I really need help :(

Answer 2

I would advise drawing a diagram for problems like these, it really helps! Without a diagram though: if the picture is 3.5 feet wide and it is 4 ft to the center of the picture from the ceiling then you want to find the center of the picture first. For that take 3.5/2 and then subtract that number from 4 to find the distance from the top of the picture to the ceiling.

Answer 3

2 1/4 feet?

Answer 4

Yep! :)

Answer 5

Thanks a ton Harley!

Answer 6

I got 2 1/4, but it doesn't seem right.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Then I must've drew it wrong.
And thanks for your help though :)
