Carla 4

Carla is hanging a quilt that is 0.8 meters wide on a wall that is 3.3 meters wide. Carla wants the quilt to be centered on the wall. Which of the following is the most reasonable estimate for the space on either side of the quilt when it is perfectly centered?

Final Answer:

x =  1.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} w=0.8\text{m} \\ a=3.3\text{m} \\ x=\frac{a-w}{2}=\frac{3.3-0.8}{2}=1.25\text{m} \end{gathered}$$
