I'm sorry, but I don't follow this. Please reply with the actual text of the exercise, exactly as it appears in your text.

Thank you.

Four pictures have three spaces between them. One space on each side of the row gives five two inch spaces or 10 inches.
(48 - 10)/4
 
But the question, as currently posted, says "display 4 pictures on a paper that measure 48 in. wide.". It says "measure" (plural verb form) rather than "measures" (singular verb form), so the forty-eight inches should refer to the pictures ("four pictures measure") rather than to the paper ("a paper measures").

That verb is one of the primary reasons I asked for the exact wording.

Hello, bambi!

I don't suppose you tried to draw a picture . . .

Display 4 pictures on a paper that measure 48 inches wide.
Left and right margins are 2 inches each and want a 2-inch space between the pictures.
How wide must each picture be to fit evenly across the paper?

Do you see an equation in there?
