Draw a diagram to solve this problem.: Draw a diagram to solve this problem. A picture frame with a photo is 15 inches wide and 12 inches high. A mat around the photo is 1 ½ inches wide on all sides. What are the dimensions of the photo? 15 12 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½


Slide19: 15' 12' 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ Step 1 – Add the two mat edges together. 1 ½ 1 ½ + 2/2 2 Step 2 – Convert the 2/2 into 1 and add this to the whole number 2.


Slide20: 15' 12' 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ + 1 3 Step 2 – Convert the 2/2 into 1 and add this to the whole number 2.


Slide21: 15' 12' 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 15 3 - 12 Step 3 – To get the width of the photo subtract the 3 from 15.


Slide22: 15' 12' 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 12 3 - 9 Step 4 – To get the height of the photo subtract the 3 from 12.


Slide23: 12' 9' 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 1 ½ 12 3 + 15 Step 5 – Your photo size is 12 x 9 inches. To check your work, add 2 times the mat width to each of your new measurements. 9 3 + 12
