Answer:

The number of pictures changes from 8 to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the first question was the number of pictures that could be placed when the pictures are 6 inches wide.

Let's first answer the first question.

Wall length: 9.75 ft

Window: 5¾ ft = 5.75 ft

Available wall space for pictures:

9.75 ft - 5.75 ft = 4 ft

Now we convert 4 ft to inches.

1 ft = 12 inches

4 ft = 4 * 12 inches = 48 inches

There is 48 inches of wall space to place pictures that measure 6 inches each.

48 inches / 6 inches = 8

Originally, there is room for 8 pictures.

Question 4.

Each picture is 10 inches wide.

There is still 48 inches of wall space for the pictures.

48 inches / 10 inches = 4.8

There is room for 4.8 pictures. Since Mr. Hamilton will place only whole picture, he can only place 4 pictures now.

Answer: The number of pictures changes from 8 to 4.
