1 answer
Wall width: 4918 inches
Poster width: 3178 inches
Total space on each side of the poster = (4918 - 3178) / 2
Total space on each side of the poster = 1740 / 2
Total space on each side of the poster = 870 inches
Therefore, the exact calculation shows that there should be 870 inches on each side of the poster.
