A Frame 2 inches wide is placed around a rectangular picture with dimensions 8 inches by 12 inches. What is the area of the frame, in square inches?
---------------------
The outside dimensions of the frame are 12 by 16 inches, so a total of 192 sq inches are covered. The area of the picture is 8x12 = 96 sq inches.
192 - 96 = 96 sq inches of frame.
