Answer 1

the size of picture is
$\frac{38}{5}$
size of frame
$\frac{73}{10}$
actual size of picture - actual size of frame
$\frac{38}{5} - \frac{73}{10}$
$= \frac{3}{10}$

Answer 2

Answer: The picture should be trimmed by $\dfrac{3}{10}\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Actual size of the picture = $\dfrac{38}{5}\ cm$

To fit in the frame the picture can not be more than $\dfrac{73}{10}\ cm$

Trimmed picture is given by

$\dfrac{38}{5}-\dfrac{73}{10}\\\\\\=\dfrac{76-73}{10}\\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{10}\ cm$

Hence, the picture should be trimmed by $\dfrac{3}{10}\ cm$
