You are hanging four championship banners on a wall in the gym.


The banners are 8 feet wide. The wall is 62 feet long. There should
be an equal amount of space between the ends of the wall and the
banners and between each pair of banners. How far apart should
the banners be placed?
This time, lets draw a diagram to help us visualize the problem.
