The formula for area is as follows:

area = length x width

Substitute the known values into the formula:

240 = (length) x 8

Divide 8 from both sides to get the following equation:

(240 / 8) = length

Simplify the left side of the equation:

30 = length

Therefore, Emily will need to use 30 tiles in each row. The answer is C) 30 tiles.

I hope this helps!
