Question

mr jackson bought 99 tiles . after he covers his entire kitchen floor with tiles , he wants to cover the floor in his hallway . the halway is 4 feet wide and 8 feet long . if he places the tiles so there are no gaps between them and they do not overlap, will Mr jackson have enough tiles to cover the hallway floor ? explain why not .

Answer 1

We are missing some information to find a final answer, but I can help you get started.

If we assume the tiles are 1 square foot, we will need 32 of them to cover the hallway. 4 x 8 = 32 square feet for the hallway.

Find the area of the kitchen and subtract that from 99. Do you have 33 left to cover the hallway?
