A business has a 200ft wall and places 6ft letters on the center of an exterior wall to spell SALE. If there is 1ft between each letter, where do they start the letter S?
200 - 6 = 194
194 / 2 = 97
So the wall pretty much will be
]
]
]
] 97 fT

S
A

E

] 97 fT
]
]
Hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that wall has dimension 200 ft.
The letter to be placed = SALE
EAch letter measures =6 ft
Space between two letters = 1 ft
There will be 3 spaces between letters and four letter
So total space required for placing the letter
=4(6)+3(1)
=27
Total space available = 100
To be at the centre we must have remaining space =(100-27) = 73
i.e. 36.5 feet on either side should be left blank
So S should start at 36.5 ft from the left end of the wall.
