A picture is copied onto a sheet of paper, which measures 8.5 inches by 10 inches. A border of 1.5 inch is left all around. What is the area, in square inches, covered by the picture? Correct Answer 38.5

Measurements excluding borders are (8.5 - 2×1.5 = 5.5) inches by (10 - 2×1.5 = 7) inches. So, area of the picture = 5.5×7 = 38.5 in2
