    First we want to find the part of the door not covered by the towel bar.

    So subtract 10.25 from 26.33

    In order to do this we need common denominators

    So we multiply the fractions to get

    (26 & 4/12) - (10 & 3/12)

    Now we subtract to get

    15 & 1/12

    Since the 15 is odd, add 12/12 to the fraction

    14 & 13/12

    Now divide that in half to get the distance from each edge

    7 & 13/24
