If you want to place an 8 ½ inch towel bar in the center of a door that is 25 ½ wide, how much space will be on each side of the towel bar?

8 in on each side

Step-by-step explanation:

If a door is 25 in wide and the towel bar is 8in long, we can first subtract the length of the towel bar from the total width of the door to find out how many inches of space are remaining:

25 - 8 = 17

Since you want to center the towel bar on the door, you can divide the remaining space by two (2) to find how much space will be on each side:

17/2 = 8.5 inches on each side.
