Aha! Now there are 12 pictures. Then there are 11 spaces between them, occupying 11/4 inches.
(5 inches - 11/4 inches) / 12 = width of each picture
(9/4) / 12
3/16" is the width of each picture, rather tiny. This is a silly question.

Assuming these are 12 pictures to a single line:
Your answer should be 0.1875 (3/16) of an inch width per picture.
8.5 inch width to the page.
1.0 and 2.5 inch margins.
5 inches operative space
.25 inches in-between 12 pictures (2.75 inches)
leaves you 2.25 inches of picture to work with.
divide that by 12
sizePicture = (pageWidth - leftMargin - rightMargin - (0.25 * (numPix -1)) / numPix
Hope that helps!

8 1/2 - 2 1/2 - 1 = 5
For a row of 12 pictures,
12w+11/4 = 5
w = (5-11/4)/12, which is a pretty small picture!
For a row of n pictures,
nw+(n-1)/4 = 5
4nw+n-1 = 20
w = (21-n)/4n

{page width - left margin - right margin - [space between pics * (no. of pics - 1)]} / no. of pics
{8.5 - 1 - 2.5 - [.25 * (12-1)]} / 12
[5 - (.25 * 11)] / 12
(5 - 2.75) / 12
2.25 / 12
0.1875
