10 3/4 - 8 3/4 = 2
10-8 = 2
2/2=1 (coz there are two sides)
Each side is 1 inch
10 points please?

The 8 3/4 in. goes up to 10 3/4 in., so how much does the frame add? Assume it's the same width on each side, so each side must be half of that increase. Got it?
Likewise 8 in. goes up to 10 in. Same increase, right:? and each part of the frame has width half of this, which gives the same answer as the first time, as it should.
When you've got your answer you can scroll down to confirm mine.
1 inch

The picture is 8 3/4in. wide. When framed, it's 10in wide.
Extra width = New width - Old width.
Extra width = 10 3/4in - 8 3/4in
Extra width = 2in
There are two sides, and since the extra width is 2in, then this number is divided by 2.
Extra distance on left side = 2/2in = 1in.
Extra distance on right side = 2/2in = 1in.
Now take the same approach for the top and bottom.
The picture is 8in. tall. When framed, it's 10in tall.
Extra height = New height - Old height.
Extra height = 10in - 8in
Extra height = 2in
There are two ends, and since the extra height is 2in, then this number is divided by 2.
Extra distance on top side = 2/2in = 1in.
Extra distance on bottom side = 2/2in = 1in.
