HELP. Linoleum floor tiles are each a 12-inch square. What is the minimum number of these tiles needed to tile the entire floor of a 6 ft by 4 ft rectangular kitchen and a 14 ft by 4 ft rectangular hallway?

Explained:
Find the area you need to cover,
(6•4)+(14•4)=80 square ft
A 12 inch square tile is 1 foot wide
There for 80/1=80 tiles
