Mr. Hamilton decorates his U. S. History classroom by putting up pictures of the presidents. The wall is 9.75 feet long. In the center, there is a window that is 5 ¾ feet long. Each president's picture is 6 inches wide. 1. How many feet long is the space Mr. Hamilton wants to fill with pictures?
2. Write a math expression that explains how you got your answer for #1.

3. Convert this length to inches. Show your work.

3. If the pictures are placed side by side on either side of the window, how many pictures can he fit on this wall? How many pictures will Mr. Hamilton use?

4. Write a math expression that explains how you got your answer for #3.

5. How would your answer change if the pictures were 10 inches wide? Explain.

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
