Well 9 3/4 is 9.75 and 27 1/2 is 27.5 so if we take 27.5 and subtract 9.75 you get 17.75 and then all you have to do is 17.75/2 which is 8.875 so the answer would be 8.875 inches on either side
Answer:
[tex]8\frac{7}{8}[/tex] inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the door is = [tex]27\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches
The size of towel bar is = [tex]9\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches
you want to place towel bar in the center of a door.
[tex]27\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - [tex]9\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{55}{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{110-39}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{71}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]17\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
The total space of the [tex]17\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches was left
We will divide it by 2 to get each side space
[tex]17\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ÷ 2
= [tex]\frac{71}{4}[/tex] ÷ 2
= [tex]\frac{71}{4\times 2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{71}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]8\frac{7}{8}[/tex] inches
[tex]8\frac{7}{8}[/tex] inches space would be on each side of the towel bar.
