When hanging a 2 7/8 ft long wall hanging in the middle of a wall that is 11 ft long, approximately how far from each end of the wall should it be hung to be in the center of the wall?

Answer 1

To hang the wall hanging in the center of the wall, first, find the midpoint of the wall by dividing the length of the wall by 2:

11 ft ÷ 2 = 5.5 ft

So the midpoint of the wall is 5.5 feet from either end.

Next, subtract half of the length of the wall hanging from the midpoint to find the ideal hanging location:

5.5 ft - (2.875 ft ÷ 2) = 4.0625 ft

Therefore, the wall hanging should be hung approximately 4.0625 feet from each end of the wall to be placed in the center.
