A picture 30" × 20" has a frame 2½" wide. The area of the picture is approximately how many times the area of the frame?
Pick:	A) 4	B) 2 1⁄2	C) 2	D) 5	E) None of these
Length of frame = 30 + 2.5 × 2= 35 inch   Breadth of frame = 20 + 2.5 × 2 = 25 inch   Now, area of picture = 30 × 20 = 600 sq. inch   Area of frame = (35 × 2.5) + (25 × 2.5)   ∴ Area of frame = 875 – 600 = 275 sq. inch   4nswer 4
