Answer:
8 pictures
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Window = 5\frac{3}{4}ft[/tex]
[tex]Wall = 9.75ft[/tex]
[tex]Pictures = 6\ inches[/tex]
Required
Determine the number of pictures
First, we need to calculate the length of the available space
This is calculated by subtracting the width of the window from the width of the wall.
[tex]Space = Wall - Window[/tex]
[tex]Space = 9.75 - 5\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Convert fraction to decimal
[tex]Space = 9.75 - 5.75[/tex]
[tex]Space = 4ft[/tex]
Since, the pictures are placed side by side.
This means that, there's no empty space between them.
Number of pictures is:
[tex]Number = \frac{Space}{Pictures}[/tex]
[tex]Number = \frac{4\ ft}{6\ in}[/tex]
Convert feet to inches
[tex]Number = \frac{4 * 12\ in}{6\ in}[/tex]
[tex]Number = \frac{48\ in}{6\ in}[/tex]
[tex]Number = \frac{48}{6}[/tex]
[tex]Number = 8[/tex]
Hence, 8 pictures can fit the wall
