You want to place a towel bar that is 24 1⁄4 centimeters long in the center of a door that is 70 1⁄3 centimeters wide. How far should you place the bar from each edge of the door?

First:  subtract the length of the towel bar from the width of the door:  70 1/3 - ( 24 1/4 )  =  46 1/12

Now to place this in the center of the door place half of this length on each side of the towel bar:

                      46 1/12  /  2  =  23 1/24

The bar should be placed  23 1/24 centimeters from each edge of the door.
