A designer places 4 identical squares on a surface and spaces them 3 5/16 inches apart. Each square is 7 1/4 inches wide. If you lay 12 squares horizontally in a row, what is the total distance across the squares?

Number of spaces would be number of squares - 1

You would have 12 squares and 11 spaces.

Multiply number of each by their size then add the two together:

12 x 7 1/4 = 87 inches

11 x 3 5/16 = 36 7/16 inches

Total = 87 + 36 7/16 = 123 7/16 inches

123 7/16 inches

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363

$113.42

i hope that is right.
