Answer:
The bar should be placed at the distance of [tex]23\frac{1}{24}[/tex]from each edge of the door.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of the towel bar = 24 1⁄4 centi-meters
Length of the door = 70 1⁄3 centi-meters
To Find:
How far should you place the bar from each edge of the door =?
Solution:
Step 1: Lets find the difference in length between the door and towel bar
=>[tex]70 \frac{1}{3} - 24 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{211}{3} - \frac{97}{4}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{(211 \times 4) - (97 \times 3)}{ 4 \times 3}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{(844) - (291)}{ 12}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{553}{ 12}[/tex]
Step 2: Lets divide the value by 2 to find the distance from each edge of the door
=>[tex]\frac{\frac{553}{ 12}}{2}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{553}{12} \times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{553}{24}[/tex]
=>[tex]23\frac{1}{24}[/tex]
