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?

Subtract the width of the towel bar from the width of the door and divide by 2.

     70 1/3
 -   24 1/4


You need a common denominator to subtract the fractions. The LCD is 12,so we can rewrite the subtraction using the LCD.

     70 4/12
 -   24 3/12

     46 1/12

Now you need to divide 46 1/12 by 2.

46/2 = 23

(1/12) / 2 = 1/24

The answer is 23 1/24 cm
