+16 Sofia wants to place a sticker 2 1/2 inches long in the center of a switch box that 3 3/4 inches wide, about how far from the edge will you place the switch box?
+37153 the amount of space to be divided equally = 3 3/4 - 2 1/2 = 1 1/4 inches
1 1/4 / 2 = 5/8 inch on each side of the label to the edge
+37153 Thought I did....
here is more.... the sticker takes up 2 1/2 inches of 3 3/4 inches leaving 1 1/4 inches not covered by sticker
divide this 1 1/4 inches in two .... this will be the amount of space on each side of the sticker to the edge 1 1/4 / 2 = 5/4 / 2 = 5/8 inch
