A business has a 200 ft wall and places 6 ft 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?

98.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 letters each spaced 1 ft apart but the last and first letters will be more than 1. The three spaces between letters take 3 ft then the remaining 6-3=3 ft

3/2=1.5 ft at the ends.

200-6=194 ft

So the letters start at 194/2+1.5=97+1.5=98.5 ft

Therefore, the letter S starts at 98.5 ft from one end
