Question

Shonali want to put a picture in a frame. The picture is $7\frac{3}{5}$ cm wide. To fit in the frame the picture cannot be more than $7\frac{3}{10}$ cm wide. How much the picture should she need to be trimmed?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Width of the picture = $7\frac{3}{5}cm=\frac{38}{5}cm$
Width of picture frame = $7\frac{3}{5}cm=\frac{38}{5}cm$
Picture she need to be trimmed = $\frac{73}{10}cm-\frac{38}{5}cm$
$=\frac{3}{70}cm$
